The Gabel Family moved to El Segundo from Houston, Texas four years ago. Greg is the Maintenance and Reliability Manager for the Chevron Refinery and Laura is a stay at home mom and the PTA President at Center Street Elementary. Hunter is in the 8th grade, a member of Student Council and loves to play soccer. Hannah is in 4th grade and loves to cheer, play softball and sings in two choirs. The family is originally from Mobile, Alabama. They are very happy to be apart of ESUMC.
I was raised in the Westchester UMC, with its very active youth family and choir groups. I was strongly influenced by 1) my grandparents, Chuck and Annie Holmes of Westchester, who had many friends in El Segundo; and by 2) The WUMC “church dads” who dedicated their time and innovation to the youth groups. They taught us to use Jesus’ methods in modern times. I now wish to add to this a deeper, more quiet understanding and practice of Jesus’ methods.
