Exploratory Trip to Dominican Republic

Be a part of a weekend trip to Dominican Republic! This will be an exploratory trip to find new mission opportunities. If you are interested please check out this flyer for more information. 

On March 22, St. Mark's Church in Wilmington welcomed their neighbor church, St. Paul's to a fellowship dinner. The group broke bread while sharing visions for the combined communities and how to aid each other in community efforts.  As had been the case in the past, both parishes were receptive to new ideas and reflected on past joint ventures of Vacation Bible School (VBS). This effort will continue this year as these parishes reach out to the community hosting a joint VBS. Working together has been a blessing for both churches and their parishioners.
