Parking Passes/Info/Invite
This week the diocesan office mailed out parking passes, an information sheet and a card to invite a friend to attend the Revival as a guest. These went to all those who had included a physical address. An email will be delivered with the same information to all who have registered.
Youth at the Revival!
The Youth weekend structured around the Revival: Fearless Faith, Boundless Love is still open for additional registrants. This event, which is intended for youth in Grades 6-12, will begin on Friday, January 19, and conclude on Sunday, January 21. Friday night includes time with the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, the Most Rev. Michael Curry, while Saturday includes participation in the Saturday Eucharist at Good Shepherd, Pennick and participation in and support of the Revival at Honey Creek on Saturday afternoon!
If youth registered for this weekend in the fall, their registration was automatically rolled over to this coming weekend. However, there are additional spots available, so go ahead and sign up, and invite a friend! You do not have to be an Episcopalian to participate in the weekend or the Revival on Saturday.
The total cost for the weekend is $150, due to the additional expenses involved with transportation. Scholarships are always available. Register at
http://bit.ly/WinterYouth2018. Contact the Rev. Joshua Varner, Canon Missioner for Children and Youth, at
[email protected] with your questions!
