Prior to the meeting, be thinking about how you would like to see the Stitchers minister to our community through handmade woolies.   If you cannot make the meeting, just send me an email with your thoughts.

DR Mission Team Meeting
Sunday, January 25 at 2:30 p.m.

The 2015 Dominican Republic Mission Team is meeting Sunday, January 25, from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. in the Christ Church Parish Hall to discuss projects and logistical arrangements for our trip. We currently have 24 people signed up for the team. While this number is the limit the team can accept because of in-country bus transportation, there are 8 people who have not yet bought their tickets. If anyone would like to be placed on the team waiting list, please come to the meeting and give your name to Julia Ariail. The cost of the trip is approximately $1200. Can't be a member of the "Go Team" this year? Please consider being a "Home Team" member and donate money to support our building projects: a daycare center and a village home. Watch for our annual Dominican Night fundraiser this spring. DR Trip Planning Page
