Summer Forum: Medical Mission to the Dominican Republic

St. John’s summer forums continue this Sunday, August 10, when medical missioners Laurie Glover and Bart Saxbe will speak about their experiences in The Dominican Republic this summer. The forum will take place at 9:00 a.m. in the church’s upper room.

Glover, who oversees the visual resource collection at the Clark Art Institute, is Senior Warden of St. John’s and helps coordinate the parish’s annual medical mission trip. Saxbe, also a parishioner, is a general surgeon in practice with Williamstown Medical Associates. Both are veterans of several mission trips the parish has sponsored to The Dominican Republic and Bolivia through Medical Ministry International. This year’s group of six teenagers and six adults worked for two weeks in surgical and dental clinics in Monte Plata.

In these summer forums, St. John’s welcomes the public to hear the experiences of people who have taken bold steps in faith and put their conviction and passion into action.
