Katy Henning (St. Paul's, Salem) shared a link about their Shepherd mentoring program. St. Paul's Youth go by the name "SPY" and usually meet for about 20 minutes on Sunday mornings for doughnuts and a short devotion. On Sunday evenings during the school year, six to ten youth usually gather for two hours, which includes a longer devotion or Bible study, dinner, and a team-building exercise. The parish serves in a missional way to middle school students from the community who pass by the church on their way home from school. Read about First Fridays.

A new resource for children and teens that might liven up the summer is intended to take the place of traditional Vacation Bible School. Arts Camp is available for $29.95 through Church Publishing (slightly less on Amazon). "Arts Camp provides all the practical, concrete instructions needed to plan, organize, staff, and conduct an annual five-day Arts Camp, including a Sunday Celebration. Each chapter includes details on art projects, programming, music, drama, games, and resources." Click here to view sample content.
