Twenty-five Episcopal Campus Ministry students and a few parish advisors are bound for Barbados in March 2002.

Responding to an invitation from the Bishop of the Diocese of Barbados and sponsored by the Chapel of the Cross Campus Ministry, students will fly to Bridgetown, Barbados, on March 9 for a week of work, learning, service, and reconciliation activities with members of parishes and students in the Diocese of Barbados. The mission group will return on March 16.

The University Ministry Committee is working in support of Chaplain Stephen Stanley and Episcopal Campus Ministry students to make this a successful mission trip. Students from our sister parish, St. Paul AME, will also form part of the group.

Funds for the mission trip will come from students and their families, but funds will also be raised through special events and efforts to be announced soon.

Don Stedman, University Ministry Committee Chair, is heading up fundraising for this activity and will be contacting parishioners soon about opportunities to help.

Barbados is a former British Caribbean Colony, settled in 1667; it became independent in 1966. It is one of the world's most densely populated nations, with an area of 166 square miles and a population of over 300,000. English and Creole are the principal languages.
