Home is the place where we feel most comfortable, loved, and protected, but what if your roof leaks in the storms or your feet fall through the cracked floors or your front steps are dangerously wobbly?
Over the years, hundreds of homes across the state have received new roofs, ramps, flooring, ceilings, bathrooms, kitchens, and improvements in accessibility. On behalf of our community of faith the Sea Island Mission Committee, with endorsement from the Session Council, is happy to coordinate this effort again this summer with our church campus hosting over (50) youth and advisors. Sea Island youth have also been involved in this ministry in previous years.
Volunteers must be 14 years old, and all adult volunteers must do a background check. Cost is $250 per volunteer. Please see Dean or Jo Feaster (contact information is listed above or reach out to Hugh Gouldthorpe 804.317.2258 or hugh312@gmail.com. Pastor Steve is available for questions as well.

How to Become a Member of Sea Island
We welcome new members into our church family with a smile on our face and joy in our hearts. Sea Island accepts new members by Profession of Faith, Reaffirmation of Faith, and/or Certificate of Transfer from another congregation. POC: Steve Keeler and/or Will Donovan.
Get Ready to Smile!
Many of you have asked for a directory of our congregation with pictures so you can put names to faces. Great news: It’s coming soon! This directory will be on our church website, and you will be able to access it with a password.
Mark your calendar for Sunday, May 19 when volunteers will snap individual or family pictures after both worship services. You will have a brief form to fill out with the pertinent information to include with your photo in the directory. (Note: This is not a professional service selling pictures – it’s by us and for us only.) Can’t be there May 19? We’ll have more photo dates soon. For more
information contact Chris Crooke at kenchris73@yahoo.com or 860.214.4301.
