Mariner Bus Trips provide opportunities for all members and friends of the church to visit new places and make new friendships.
We usually have one trip a month beginning in December through April. In the spring we have a three night extended trip.
See the church bulletin for a list of the trips this season. Reservations are taken at the Mariner Booth on Sunday morning following the first service.
