Full Sail

A special thanks goes out to David Brand and family for hosting the Lagniappe intern sailing excursion. We sailed out of Long Beach harbour this morning and sailed around for several hours, relaxing and enjoying the quiet of the gentle breeze.

First Pres – Dumas TX

At the Seymour House, First Presbyterian Church from Dumas TX has been working at the site. Even though First Pres Dumas has been staying with and at First Presbyterian Bay St. Louis we are more than happy to partner with them and have work on one of our sites.
