What's Happening

If you're looking for an experience that you will never forget, form new personal relationships with people you meet and work with, and receive something so much more out of a trip than you ever expected, Mission Jamaica may be the trip for you!  We are pulling together a team for our next Mission Jamaica trip, and are tentatively looking at dates near the end of February through the beginning of March.

Your fellowship committee has teamed up with Mission Jamaica to offer a night of fun and food. On August 29, starting at 6pm, we will have a Jamaican feast, with Trivia starting at 7. Cost is $5 per person, we will also have a free will offering to help raise money for the trip.

RSVP to fellowship@stlukememphis.org.  Get your spot early, because they will go fast.  Hope to see everyone there!
