Go Team Thanks the Home Team
The Go Team is back from the Dominican Republic!
The members of the Dominican Republic Go Team have returned safely.  If you use Facebook, you can follow their adventures on Julius Ariail's Facebook page and check out day-by-day photographs in his Facebook album. A full report and photograph album will be added to the church's website in a week or so.

To the Home Team -- thank you for supporting the preparations for this trip and for donating funds for scholarships for the 2019-2020 academic year at the K-8 Episcopal school in El Pedregal. We will be sending all of the scholarship donations to this school during the first week of July. If you have not yet had an opportunity to donate for this purpose, you can put a check in the collection plate noted for "DR scholarships" or donate securely online by June 30. One scholarship for one child for one academic year costs $350.
