Summer Starts With a Mission Trip

School's out for summer vacation!

Summer vacation means many things: sleeping late; rolling out of bed early for swim team practice; the cheerful tune of the ice cream truck; Wednesday grill nights up at the church; reading for fun instead of homework.

At St. Anne's, summer vacation means mission trips!

The first trip of the season hits the road on Saturday morning. A group of teens and adults will head to Philadelphia for a week of work and play at a family shelter. On Sunday, they are hoping to worship at the African Episcopal Church of St. Thomas, founded in 1792 by Absalom Jones.

The Philadelphia team will return just hours after the Dominican Republic team leaves on June 27 for St. Anne's 10th annual trip to that country.

But it doesn't end with those trips. "Mission Possible," St. Anne's mission-trip-of-the-day outreach program for our twelve and thirteen year-olds and the Dungannon mission team will hit the road in late July and early August.

Stay tuned!
