Singles Cruise to Visit Disciples in the Caribbean

Friday, 11 February 2011 09:20

The first ever Singles Caribbean Cruise sponsored by Disciples Today received a warm invitation from the disciples of the International Churches of Christ in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. Many disciples have asked for opportunities to spend their vacations with other disciples. Read the invitation from St. Thomas below.

By the way, the singles have asked to be sure the marrieds know they are welcome to joint them.

Greetings from the U.S. Virgin Islands!

The Virgin Islands Disciples of Christ Church cordially invites you to our home, St. Thomas --- the Caribbean's most popular tourist destination and one of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean.

We are a family of 35 disciples, a small but vibrant and spiritually strong group, and needless to say, we were excited to learn that St. Thomas will be a port of call for November's Singles Caribbean Cruise. We live on a picturesque 31-square mile island located between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, 90 miles east of Puerto Rico.

Our singles ministry comprises 15 talented men and women of diverse backgrounds. Our travels to the mainland --- or other Caribbean islands for that matter --- to visit family and friends and attend church conferences are limited because of financial and logistical issues, so we feel detached from the rest of the Kingdom. Regular visits by disciples, even for just a day, uplift, rejuvenate and encourage us --- reminding us that although a tiny community in the Caribbean that we are indeed part of a larger church and have something to offer to our brothers and sisters. Also, visits by disciples serve as tangible reminders for us that there are faithful disciples all over the world.

Our day in St. Thomas will include an island tour, shopping, lunch and time at the beach for a devotional and play time.

It will be a great joy and an absolute honor for us to host single brothers and sisters from the mainland or elsewhere. We look forward to meeting and sharing our beautiful home with you. You will love our island just as much as we do, and your visit will be a faith building and memorable experience for all.

To God be the Glory!
