Description
Life and ministry in resort communities offer unique – make that quirky – moments for creative engagement with the people who live there, the people who live there part of the year, and those who just drop in for a weekend. We bless boats and bikes, we strive to keep in touch and maintain pastoral relationships, we minister in the midst of socio-economic tensions among the differing populations.

We will share some ministry ventures that have worked in particular contexts, and find support in meeting our challenges.
