Youth & Young Adult Ministries Zoom GatheringsJUNE 3 ANNOUNCEMENT
Join us every other Thursday at 11:00 am for an ongoing gathering, focusing on youth and young adult ministry as well as children’s ministry . Gather with colleagues from around the diocese — lay and clergy, paid and volunteer, part-time and full-time -- to share ideas, challenges, questions, and concerns as we continue this new way of doing remote-access youth ministry and christian formation. We collect and distribute resources gathered from within the diocese and around the wider church. This week, we shared creative ways to acknowledge and mark graduations, risings from middle school to high school, and other key end-of-year rites of passage. Our next gathering will focus on plans for summer ministry. Contact Canon Myra Garnes for more information and support for your ministry with young people!
