MATINICUS ISLAND, ME — Sunbeam V Steward Jillian took these photos recently while on a Mission trip to Matinicus, which is 22 miles at sea from the mainland.
Jillian writes, “Boy, was it a fun night on Matinicus playing bingo together after taco feast. In one photo, Josh takes a turn at calling out bingo numbers.
For prizes, we all brought gift wrapped items from our lives that we wanted to find a good home. Austin is thrilled to have gotten this snazzy skull mug.”
