Teens
Youth Groups
These dynamic groups meet twice a
month, usually on Sunday evenings. Their activities are designed to reinforce and enhance the Journey To Adulthood curriculum. They organize and take part in activities that foster
participation of the younger members of our congregation, including ice skating, trips to the movies, helping at the soup kitchen, working at the food bank, and the annual Halloween
sleep-over ("lock-in!") at the Episcopal Conference Center. The Senior Youth Group also hosts the annual Pancake Supper and sponsors a booth at the annual Victorian Village
Bazaar at Christmas time. Journey To Adulthood Program
This six-year program for 11 to 17 year olds is one of the more exciting
faith formation programs for youth available today. It was developed to attract, instruct and nurture young people at the time in their lives when they are most likely to drift away
from the Church.This program includes in depth exploration of Self, Society, Sexuality, and Spirituality. It is based on two key concepts: 1) Manhood and womanhood are
gifts from God, and 2) Adulthood must be earned. The program is built around three distinct phases of development, each encompassing two years:
- Rite 13
(11 to 13 year olds) recognizes the passage from childhood to manhood and womanhood.
