Day Five of Senior High - Our Closing Celebration

Sorry this got delayed.  Saturday morning was a jumble as we packed and then cleaned up after ourselves.  By the time we got home we were just too tired to update the blog.

Friday is pretty much like any other regular day.  Meals, classes, recreation time.  The main differences are that instead of our Eucharist happening in the middle of the day it comes toward the end.  Instead at 11 we take our conference photograph, talk about a few events coming up later this year and then Noonday worship before lunch.

We talked about ways we can stay in touch and be involved in the diocesan youth ministries.  Youth Commission, Happening (and Happening Board), Diocesan Convention Youth Delegation and (trumpet blast) EYE 2014!   Next summer the Episcopal Youth Event (EYE) will be near Philadelphia PA.  Applications for the diocesan delegation will be available soon (but we got them today!)

The weather was still pretty rotten so we didn't get a chance to go swimming or sailing again.  Booo!

On the other hand, after his schedule changed three times this week Bishop Franklin finally got to camp.  Yay!  We had the chance to talk for a while -

Plus he was the celebrant for our closing Eucharist

Then we danced our way to the end of our time together.  It was a celebration of all the fun we had this week.  We looked at hundreds of photos of all the things we did (Thanks Miguel!)

After we recognized our graduating seniors (sniff, sniff  we're gonna miss Jeff, Junior, Katy, Monica and Nate) our time together came to an end.  We said Compline one last time and sang our ending song.




What a great week.  If you're still in high school next year don't miss out on Senior High Conference 2014!
