CRESTVIEW — Woodlawn Baptist Church members and officials recently hosted a lunch honoring North Okaloosa County’s first responders.

Guests included Crestview police and fire departments, north end deputies and EMS workers. About 65 people attended the Sept. 27 luncheon.

“We are so thankful for all of our Crestview area and Okaloosa County first responders,” Woodlawn’s senior pastor, Patrick Pfrimmer, said. “The appreciation lunch is just a small token of our thanks for their daily work and sacrifice. We always want to be available to them for whatever help and support they need.”

George Katzman, the church's Minister of Education, encourages other churches and civic organizations to find ways to express thanks to first responders as well, the media release stated.
