The Grace Episcopal Church Youth Group meets 11:30 a.m. every other Sunday from September to June. The Group includes youth in grades 6-12. Friends are always invited. We use the Journey to Adulthood curriculum for our discussions.
Early in the school year the youth and parents plan the activities for the year. The youth elect their own officers and parents share responsibilities in a cooperative effort to support youth activities.
Activities include overnights and caming, holiday parties, pool parties, games, fun and fellowship. The yearly highlight is the youth group annual ski trip, largely funded through the youth group annual Christmas wreath sale. We join the youth groups of two other local Episcopal churches for larger projects, such as Habitat for Humanity, as well as fellowship events.
The youth also work on projects to help in the community, collecting money for the Souper Bowl of Caring, the Food Pantry and other ministries.
Meetings and activities are also an opportunity for the youth to talk with one another and Reverend Stephen about their concerns.
