Members of ECW and other parishioners are going to participate along with the ECW Group from Holy Trinity, Hampstead in offering a picnic and conversation to members of the Wounded Warriers at Camp LeJeune, in Jacksonville, NC.
We hope to make this a frequent co-operative event with many of our congregation and those from Holy Trinity, in Hampstead.
One way to say Thank You to our troops.
On Thursday June 12, seven St. Mary’s members (joined by a friend of Van Reid’s who is a retired marine and a Vietnam veteran) participated in the Wounded Warriors luncheon at Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville. The cookout was held on the lawn outside the Wounded Warrior barracks. It was coordinated by the ECW group from Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Hampstead. Father Dan led the blessing, and about fifty soldiers enjoyed the picnic. All who attended had a good time and look forward to participating again. Our thanks to Catherine Wynne for arranging our cooperation in this event.
