Food Truck Fest youth volunteers needed!
We are looking for youth to assist as “runners” for our Senior adult friends during the annual giving Food Truck Fest after church on Sunday, September 29.
The youth will be helping parishioners who are not able to stand in the lines. I will have large red buttons that say, “YOUTH VOLUNTEER” on them. The youth may need to actively “work the crowd” and ask folks, especially seniors, if they need help. We will have the clergy announce during the service that there will be help for parishioners who need it.
Diocesan Greenville Gathering: Sunday, October 6, 5:00 - 7:00 PM,
We will meet at St. Peter's Episcopal Church for an awesome evening of fellowship and fun as we connect with our youth friends from across the Upstate. We will spend time outside playing games and roasting s'mores, and will end the evening with Compline. We will share dinner and fellowship with one another. Drop-off and pick-up will be at St. Peter's. Please bring a friend!
Halloween Festival, Sunday, October 20th from 5:00-7:30 PM, All Saints Center Gym
Join us for a night of fellowship and fun! This event is open to all, and everyone is encouraged to wear a costume. There will be a wide variety of games, carnival treats, and inflatables for all ages. After the festival, you are invited to join us for a spooky organ concert in the historic church from 7:30- 8:30 PM. Youth, we are looking for helpers to assist with running some of the stations.

Meet Lizzy Melton our new Youth Intern!
|
My name is Lizzy Melton and I am so excited to be serving as the new Youth Intern! I am a Senior Health Science and Spanish Major at Furman University and a Greenville Native. Christ Church has been like a second home to me over the years, and I am so thrilled to onboard as a staff member. When I was in high school, I was a part of the Student Leadership Team, where I met some of my best friends, learned about ministering to others and made some of my fondest memories. I am excited to share my experience with the current youth by helping them grow in their faith and equipping them to minster to others. Some fun facts about me: I love Diet Coke, Clemson Football, Fall, Swimming, Taylors Swift and Grey’s Anatomy.
