2014 MISSION TRIP: JUNE 7-14, 2014
 

The dates are set for the next mission trip to El Pedregal in the Dominican Republic: June 7-14, 2014. Longtime mission team participant Fred Richter from Trinity Statesboro is this year's group leader, and Julia Ariail and Helen Tucker are the local coordinators. The Rev. Tar Drazdowski, soon-to-be completely fluent in Spanish, is the team chaplain, hopefully. The project list is in progress; however, we hope to teach knitting and crochet as well as help with construction at the camp and in the village. Vacation Bible School and other activities for children are yet to be determined based on conversation with the new camp administrator, Fr. �lvaro Yepes. Stand by for more information on trip details and how to join the 2014 team. A planning web page will be up in about a week, and you'll receive another message when that page is ready to go.
