Snowbirds and Seagulls

Our Snowbird and Seagull ministry is in full swing. Yesterday, the Festive Brass provided a wonderful concert for a full sanctuary. Over one hundred played golf on Tuesday. Day trips are also an important part of this experience for many. Some even visit the Mousepad. For us it is a continuing delight to meet folks from a wide variety of places and to learn their stories. Ron and I talked with a couple that are about ready to leave for this year, but told us that next year they are coming for three months just because of our church. After several years of boring stays, this year they discovered the sense of community that they had been missing. They not only have enjoyed our Snowbird program, but also our worship services on Sunday and Monday. They feel connected to life in Myrtle Beach. What a good word about this ministry! Thanks, Big Tom and friends for making this happen.
