Prayer Circle
The Chapel on the Green was dedicated in 1996 by the Prayer Support Circle. It is a place to pray, meditate or simply find a sense of peace in times of stress. Next to the Chapel is a Memorial Garden which was established in 2000. Names of deceased Sea Trail residents are etched in bricks to form a walkway through the lovely garden surrounded by beautiful nature and benches for quiet meditation.
- The Prayer Circle provides the bricks for the Memorial Garden for a small engraving fee. We obtain the engraved bricks and facilitate a brick-laying, when requested.
- There is a supply of Chapel on the Green note cards for sale at $7 for a box of 10 notes.
- The Circle works with the Master Association in maintaining the beauty of the Chapel both inside and out. The committee coordinates the use of the Chapel to ensure the guidelines are followed.
The Prayer Circle prays for people on request and we keep the requests confidential. If you have a prayer request, please call or email the member in your neighborhood as listed below:

Food, Friends & Wine
Membership in the Food, Friends & Wine club (FF&W) is open to all residents of Sea Trail and their friends. Dinner groups consist of 6 to 8 people and meet four (4) times a year, roughly quarterly. The host member / couple for the evening prepares the main entrée while others bring either an appetizer, salad, side dish or dessert according to the menu. Everyone should bring a wine of their choice. If someone has to drop out of a dinner before the agreed upon date, the host can substitute someone else from the list of “substitutes” or just invite another friend.
The FF&W team will work to rotate the hosts and dinner groups among all members and will develop recipes that can be easily prepared. Food, Friends & Wine is a great way to meet your neighbors, enjoy a great dinner, perhaps experience new wines and to make new friends.
Please contact the FF&W team for 2026:

COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTORS
Cancer Support Group
Cancer – a very scary word! Dealing with cancer is not easy, but no one has to go through it alone if they choose not to. There are people at Sea Trail who have gone through it and are willing to help those who have received a cancer diagnosis and their caregivers navigate the difficult road ahead. The Sea Trail Cancer Support Group is a group of Sea Trail residents who have either been diagnosed with cancer or are care-givers for someone who has. The purpose of the group is to use the experience of the members to help those who are newly-diagnosed or currently undergoing treatment understand what they may experience during their struggle with cancer and find the resources they need to cope. For information, contact Cherle or John Rothermel at 910-579-5263 or by email at cherlerothermel1@gmail.com or rothermel@atmc.net and/or click Cancer Support Group
Garden Club
“Bloom where you are planted” is more than the motto of the Sea Trail Garden Club – it is the example the members try to set by balancing social events with service and outreach. While not being a “traditional” garden club, the Garden Club is a social and philanthropic organization providing a welcoming bridge to Sea Trail life for newcomers, members and guests.
Meeting on the second Tuesday of most months, the meetings include a variety of informative and inspirational programs. Some recent programs have included a field trip to a local recording studio, a presentation by the Sea Trail Turtle Watch Program, discussion of archaeology digs in our area, and a lecture delving into the paranormal. Fund raising activities such as auctions, raffles and garage/bake sales provide money for donations to local Brunswick County charities and scholarships.
Garden Club On-the-Go schedules group trips to interesting locales such as Brookgreen Gardens, The Biltmore House in Asheville, SC rice plantations, Downtown Charleston and a cruise on the InterCoastal Waterway.
The Garden Club is open to and welcomes all women currently residing in Sea Trail. The annual dues are $30. For more information click the button below.
Granny’s Closet
Are your grandchildren coming to visit and you need equipment for them? Do you need medical aids after a procedure? Let Granny’s Closet help you if we have what you need available! We have the following to borrow:
- Pack n play, bed rails, gates, booster seat, or umbrella stroller, etc.
- Medical aids such as crutches, walker, bath/shower chair, or bedside commode.
If you would like to borrow items from Granny’s Closet, please contact Diane Kreuzburg at 910-579-4333 or dianek9@atmc.net. She will check if the item you want to borrow is currently on the list and if so will give you the lender’s name and phone number to contact.
PLEASE NOTE: Since many items were being stored at homes of those with grandchildren now grown and therefore no longer needing the item, this particular list has gotten shorter. So if you have items you would like to add to Granny’s Closet and store in your home for others to borrow, please contact Diane. She will be glad to add your item and your contact name and information to either of the inventory lists.
PORCH Food Collection
PORCH is a food collection opportunity within our community for residents to help the ever-growing number of families in Brunswick County who need food. This effort will be Sea Trail wide and is supported by the Master Association. Once a month, a team of volunteers within Sea Trail will place a tub/box/container on their porch or at the end of their driveway where residents can drop off non-perishable, non-expired food items. The donations will then be taken to The Lord’s Food Pantry, sorted, weighed and distributed to 11 different charitable groups in our county. Your donations are so important to this program in helping those who are currently in need. You can help by either dropping off food and/or volunteering with the program. If you have any further questions, email Ellen at lala28468@gmail.com
