Ministering in Mosovi
This summer, the St. Mary’s Episcopal Church 2013 Mission Team traveled to the Dominican Republic to minister to the people in the village of Mosovi.
The team provided a five-day Vacation Bible School to nearly 80 children. School supplies were purchased for the two-room school house in the village that serves about 90 students through eighth grade. The team also provided supplies and labor costs for repairs to the church.
St. Mary’s, at 800 Rountree St., has committed to building a relationship with Divina Gracia Church in Mosovi by continuing to raise funds and awareness of the need for education and clean, reliable water sources for the villagers.

“Fast Track to Sustained Positive Cash Flow” will be held from 9 a.m. to noon Thursday at the LCC Small Business Center, Kinston Enterprise Center, Room 31, 327 N. Queen St.
The best source of cash for a business is not a loan but revenue from daily sales. This workshop will address where your money is, why now is the time to ask for the money, a solid sales process for your product or service, how to make sure you never run out of qualified leads.
The seminar is free, but pre-registration is recommended. For more information or to pre-register, contact Greg Hannibal, LCC Small Business Center director, at 252-522-4676, ext. 2021, or ghannibal@lenoircc.edu.
Museum to sponsor lecture
GOLDSBORO – “The History of the Quakers in Wayne County, NC” will be presented at 1 p.m. Sept. 7 at the Wayne County Museum, 116 N. William St., Goldsboro. Dr. Doug Rader will discuss “Contentnea: the historical footprint of Quakers in northern Wayne County.”
Quakers were some of the first European settlers in this area, migrating from other colonies and England seeking new opportunities and a safe haven from religious persecution. They are one of the most important groups in the history of the county and 250 years after the arrival of those first settlers, the Quaker community is still strong in Wayne County.
The presentation will be no longer than an hour and will be held on the second floor of the Wayne County Museum. It is free and open to the public.
For more information, call 919-734-5023.
