**NEW**...YOUTH MISSION TRIP - We are excited to announce that St. Nicholas has been blessed to work with the Orthodox Youth Mission Team (OYMT) to provide our youth an opportunity to put their faith to work. We will participate with the Appalachian Service Project (ASP) in a week-long mission trip this summer to Guyan Valley, WV in Wyoming County. The goal of ASP is to make homes “warmer, safer, drier” and, since 1969, 393,643 volunteers from across the nation have repaired 18,866 homes in this impoverished area. The vision behind a youth mission is to inspire high-school aged youth to develop a lifelong desire to serve God in their homes, parishes, communities and throughout the world. Please pray for our safe travels, good work, and for the families that we will serve. Contact Doris King 910-777-1535 with any questions.
