The theme for this year’s retreat is “Go Light the World”. In the Sacrament of Confirmation, we “receive strength from the Holy Spirit” (BCP, p. 860). The retreat invites our youth to acknowledge and embrace the strength/gifts/light they have received. It is an opportunity to help them understand and explore their call to be “beacons of light” on a daily basis.

Everyone loves this annual service where the children and youth do everything: they bake the communion wafers, decorate the sanctuary, usher, read the Bible passages, give the sermon and lead the prayers. Interested participants, please contact Melissa or Wendy for a role. As always we are very excited to continue this wonderful tradition.

A very important part of the Children & Youth Service is when we recognize our amazing Children & Youth Ministry Volunteers. We are so grateful for their guidance, devotion and faithfulness as Confirmation mentors, Sunday School teachers, and program leaders for our youngest members. They make it all work.

Join us to thank our Children and Youth Ministry volunteers for their faithful leadership.

Frank Herbert's Dune universe is built on a galaxy-wide prohibition against “thinking machines.” What emerged to replace them is a strict but wise philosophy of what it means to be human: embodied, discerning, and capable of making genuine choices. In our final two gatherings, we'll explore Herbert’s demanding vision of human capacity, what happens when we artificially constrain it, and practices for reclaiming freedom on a daily basis and throughout our journeys as human beings and disciples.

For more information, please contact Rev. TJ.

All youth in Grades 7 to 12 are invited to join us for year-end laser tag fun and pizza party.

Youth Group provides a welcoming space/time for youth in grades 7 to 12 to have fun, unwind, reflect, and serve others. It will serve as an opportunity for them to retreat from their normal routines, enjoy a meal, and have fun and fellowship with each other. There will be opportunities for off-campus fun activities (bowling, mini golf, movies, etc.) as well as offerings to use their time and talents to serve others. The focus will be on creating an environment of ‘being’, rather than on ‘doing’.

For more information, please contact Wendy.
