What a great trip to the Dominican Republic!
Apostles By-the-Sea and Chapel at the Beach are partnering with Global Effect for a mission to the Dominican Republic to share the hope of the Gospel, to distribute gifts for children (for many it will be the only gift they will receive for Christmas), and to give the gift of clean water to families in need. There is an Informational Meeting before our service on Sunday, October 6 at 10:00a.m. in the Town Hall.
