Summer

Mission

Trip

The summer mission trip has been planned for August 1st-August 6th. It will be open to those entering 9th grade-college in September. We will be going to Camp Heartland in Willow River, Minnesota to make a trail of hope for the campers and build some footbridges for the camp. Camp Heartland is giving us free food and tent lodging in exchange for our work. We will be at the camp from August 1st-5th and then have a day of play on August 6th as a reward. Deadline to sign up is May 15th and your twenty-dollar deposit is due by June 15th.

We have seven tenth graders being confirmed/received into the Episcopal Church on Saturday, May 18th at 11am at St. Mark's Cathedral. Kyle Domin, Megan Mahoney, Sarah Prochnow, Katelynn Pope, Amber Hammond, Stephen Anthony, and Marissa Mahanna are all taking an important step in faith. These confirmands are invited to a confirmation banquet on Sunday, May 19th at 6pm. Banquet information will be mailed out separately.

There will be no Jr. High Youth group meeting on May 19th due to a conflict with confirmation activities. Youth Group meetings will continue through the summer.
