A new banner and some reminders

So check out the new header (that's that big purple thing up at the top of the page) for our blog.  I finally sat down and created something that I'm much happier with for our diocesan youth ministry blog!  It was lots of fun sorting through photos trying to find the right ones in the right size.  I think it gives a much better look at the kinds of things we do together.

Speaking of doing things together -

Journeys #3 - Is just a week away!  Remember it's for youth in grades 6-8 and  you can do it each year!  Cost is just $30.  Journeys #3 will take place at St Marks Orchard Park. October 5-7.  You'll find all the information you need and registration forms HERE

Happening Weekend #30 - The application deadline for our next Happening weekend is coming up soon too.  If you're in grades 9-12 think about joining a Happening weekend.  It's a great time of fun and faith.  And food.  Lots of good food.  And music.  The program is run entirely by young people for young people.  Applications are HERE.  Cost is  $100

And now back to our routine!

And just that suddenly it is Fall it seems!  Back to our routine as program years begin to get cranked up once again.  We had a great summer (over 80 kids at camp!) and now we're looking forward to some great programs for the 2012-13 year as well.

 

The first Youth Commission meeting of the year is coming up this Sunday.

September 16, 2 PM at St Patrick's Cheektowaga.

 

If you have youth in grades 6-8 then let them know about Journeys Weekend #3.  This is a fun and action packed spiritual retreat weekend designed specifically for the needs of that age group.  Cost is only $30 and it will be held at St Mark's Orchard Park October 5-7.  Applications can be downloaded from the Downloads page at eyouthwny.org.

 

For High School aged youth there is Happening Weekend #30, November 1-4 at Camp Pioneer in Angola.  This is a profound and fun spiritual weekend that will lead youth deeper into their experience of God.  If you're not familiar with Happening check out the Happening page on the website.  Applications are available on theDownloads page

 A great summer should be the start of an incredible fall.  As always if you have any questions get in touch with me.
