Flower Guild - vases needed

Each week our Flower Guild visits and delivers flowers to shut-ins, or members who are sick or in the hospital. The flowers they deliver are from our Sunday Altar arrangement.
The Flower Guild needs some medium size vases (no bud vases).
If you would like to donate some medium size vases to the Flower Guild, they can be dropped off at the church office, or brought to church on Sunday morning and placed on the counter in the kitchen. Thank you for your support of this important ministry. |

2017 Dominican Trip Dates
|
Planning for the Dominican Mission trip begins early - almost a year early. The dates for next year's trip are June 12 -19, 2017. We selected the date early so that we could get on the Campamento schedule at a time after our schools ended and before their summer camp sessions begin and so that those thinking of going with us could block out the dates on next year's schedule. If you are interested in applying for the "Go Team," contact Julia or Julius Ariail at juliacariail@gmail.com.
Work continues on the final report and photo album from our 2016 trip. As a preview, here's a small set of photos from Sunday, May 15, when our team attended the church service in El Pedregal:
