Senior High is doing OK but we could still have room for more. Some cool new stuff this year (and secret ducks!), Junior High and Sleep Away have LOTS of room so spread the word!
Plans are underway for the young people of our diocese to spend some time with the Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church, Katherine Jefferts Schori. Bishop Katherine will visit with us TWICE over the next calendar year. The plan is to have High School and Young Adults meet with her during the Diocesan Convention in October and for Middle school youth meet with her when she comes for the consecration of our new bishop in the spring. Details are still being worked out (you think YOUR schedule is busy? You should see hers!) but keep checking back as the dates get closer.
There's lots more stuff going on. Check the youth ministry web page

SOMETHING FOR YOUR HEART
"Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody." (1 Thessalonians 4:11-12)
This isn't the way I usually think of ambition. If I'm feeling ambitious to live for God, at all, I want to do BIG things: Witness to every person at school. Build an orphanage with my bare hands. Memorize the New Testament . . . in Greek.
But Paul wants us to think of a long-term strategy to help unbelievers to notice Christ in the way we live every day -- not just in the BIG things we do to "change the world."
Lead a well-rested life (not a silent one). Pay more attention to how you're living than how everyone else is living. Get a job and do good work so you can be a giver and not a taker.
Doing the opposite may lead people to think following Jesus leaves us exhausted, judgmental, lazy, foolish, and broke.
Think: What's your plan for your life? Will it help you to lead a restful, wise, and working life that will be respectable to those who don't know Jesus?
Pray: Ask God to help you to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your hands in a way that earns Him the respect of outsiders
Do: Make a quick list of 3-4 Christians you respect. Notice how these qualities do (or don't) fit into their lives.

PARTING SHOT
The prospective son-in-law was asked by his girl friend's father, 'Son, are you able to support a family?'
'Well, no, sir,' he replied. 'I was just planning to support your daughter. The rest of you will have to fend for yourselves.'

This is a way for us to show everyone our involvement in our church and to help support all the youth ministries. The money raised by the stuff at our store is used by Youth Commission to help make camps, and Happening, and mission trips and the Bishop's Ball a little bit better. If you haven't checked out what's available recently please do.
