We are looking ahead to the next academic year and dreaming about what kinds of new programs we might offer that connect youth with the wider church and serve their formation in Christ. We'd love for you to join us for this conversation on one of the following dates: June 8 from 4:30-5:30 pm OR June 9 from 4:30-5:30 pm. Both meetings will be held at St. James Commons located at 65 E Huron. We are also offering a video/telephone conference option for those who can't make it to the meeting in person. CONTACT US to get the link for the video conference or the phone number for the conference call. Please RSVP and let us know if you plan to attend. And if you're unable to participate, please contact us anytime! Your input is valuable to us!

The priority registration deadline has passed, but there are still spaces available at all sessions of CAMP CHICAGO. Tell a friend and get signed up today. It's going to be an awesome summer of learning about our connection to God and each other as we canoe, swim, play games, make crafts, sing around campfires, make new friends, and worship together each day. We provide TRANSPORTATION from downtown Chicago to camp for families that find this helpful. And we have scholarships available for those with financial need. We don't want anyone to miss this wonderful opportunity to have incredible amounts of fun and grow in faith at the same time. REGISTER ONLINE.

The next E.Y.E. will be held in early July 10-14 of 2017 at the University of Central Oklahoma in Edmond. E.Y.E. or The Episcopal Youth Event is held every three years at a different university around the country. The event is coordinated by The Episcopal Church for high school age youth and adult leaders from every province of our denomination. The event typically draws around 1200 youth and adults from all over the world and features creative worship, compelling speakers, and engaging workshops intended to empower participants for leadership in their home dioceses and churches. Please save the date and begin thinking of young leaders from your church that might want to attend. CONTACT US if you might like to serve as an adult chaperone or if you have questions. More details coming soon.

As the school year comes to an end, high school seniors are preparing for graduation. If you know students in your parish who are graduating, please let us know. We would love to help connect them with a campus or young adult ministry. Even if a graduate is not planning to attend college or will be attending college outside of our diocese, we can help provide information and make connections with faith communities wherever they might be going.
