We have an event coming up in November called “Happening” that I hope you will consider going to (if you are a student in grades 9 through 12) or sending your students to (if you are a parent or youth leader).
The next Happening is November 13-15 at St. John’s, Midland.
Here are two ways we use to describe Happening:
“Happening is more than a Youth Event. It’s an experience. You’ll find yourself telling your friends, family and complete strangers of the things that happened at Happening! Happening is a retreat program for high school youth used throughout the Episcopal Church. We do everything from praying to playing, and from singing to sleeping. There are talks, small groups, free time and fun. We come together to praise God in an amazing environment, and hope you will join us this year too!”
“Happening is an Episcopal retreat for high school teens that goes on in over 70 dioceses in the Episcopal Church, and in various other provinces of the Anglican Communion. At Happening, teens experience the love of Christ as shown through the sacraments and ministry and friendship of teenagers, clergy, and lay adults. For many teens, at Happening our Christian faith becomes powerfully real. The Happening program is designed to train and lift up youth as leaders for Christ in the Church. Happening is part of diocesan youth ministry to and with youth, overseen by bishops of the diocese in which it occurs.”
The registration form for Happening can be found HERE.
Scholarships are available! Please download a scholarship form from HERE.
Ideally, the particpant’s church would contribute 1/3rd, the participant would contribute 1/3rd, with the Diocese paying the final 1/3rd. If this is not possible, please be in touch with us, we are willing to work out another arrangement.
**We hope that no one will miss any event because of money**
