St. Mark By the Sea Lutheran Church will hold the 4th Annual Celebration of Caribbean Culture and Faith on Sunday, August 6 at 9:00 a.m.
The public is invited to the fourth annual Celebration of Caribbean Culture and Faith at St. Mark By the Sea Lutheran Church in Palm Coast. The celebration will take place on Sunday, August 6, 2006 at 9:00 a.m. The worship service will highlight the contributions made by the different cultures and languages that comprise the Caribbean Nations. This will also be a celebration of the gifts this diversity brings to our own community.
The service includes a Caribbean Flag presentation, Caribbean hymns, the Hurricane Prayer, liturgical dancing by Roots 'n Rhythm Folkloric Movement Group, and a special presentation of Habitat for Humanity International in partnership with Thrivent Builds to assist in building homes in the Caribbean. There will even be a "Taste of the Caribbean" fellowship event to follow the service.
Pastor Tom Bingol shares, "Every year there is great anticipation for the Annual Caribbean Service. There is such joy in celebrating the church’s diversity, especially to the growing Caribbean community in Flagler County and Northeast Florida. It also provides an opportunity to celebrate both our faith heritage and the incredible diversity of the Caribbean. Surprisingly, the second oldest Lutheran Congregation in the Western Hemisphere, dating back to 1666, is in the Caribbean. We are blessed to have members and guests from various Caribbean countries."
St. Mark By the Sea Lutheran Church is located at 303 Palm Coast Parkway, N.E. in Palm Coast. >From I-95 take the Palm Coast Exit #289 and head east on Palm Coast Parkway approximately one mile.
