Many of our faith communities engage in mission opportunities over the summer. If you are looking to collaborate, consider one of these two options!
June 19-21: Youth entering Gr. 6-8 with 9-12 leadership. We celebrate ways to be Christ's hands and feet in our city with local charity/non-profit partners. We sleep at St. Mark's Cathedral and use public transportation.
June 25-July 2: This trip is open any faith community who wants to participate by sending adult chaperones with youth entering Gr. 8-12.

The ECMN delegation has 15 students and 2 adult leaders - Sarah Barnett & Longkee Vang. We need one more adult chaperone to join us. If interested, registration closes 3/15. Email sarah.b@episcopalmn.org asap.
Every 3 years EYE brings together over 1200 youth in Grades 9-12 from across the Episcopal Church. This year we are headed to Oklahoma July 10-14 to explore our theme of peacemaking. How can members of the Jesus Movement can pursue a path to peace? Here is the

Slack is basically a way for teams of people to communicate and share documents/resources. We have two main channels to share resources around Children's & Youth Ministry. Then we have specific channels around projects like camps and retreats. This will be a place where you can go to check for all of the most up-to-date information. If you want minute-by-minute updates -- download the app on your phone, too!
