Hey Friends

I often hear people talk about the role of youth in the church. Most of the time, they are pushed to the side because they don't seem to offer anything to the congregation. They are not on the Vestry, the Board of Financial Advisors, or a part of the outreach programs. This isn't the case here at All Saints'. The youth here are a vibrant, creative, strong, and intelligent group of young members of the church. They are integral to our All Saints' community.

There is no better time to highlight their contributions than on Youth Sunday. Youth Sunday is a day when the youth show the congregation what it means to be a young member of the church. They should not be set aside because they are the future of the church. In our case, the future is bright. I encourage you to be supportive of the youth here at All Saints'. Come be a part of our village!

If you are a parent and are looking to be apart in youth ministry this year well I have exciting information to tell you.

Parents can be involved by providing dinner for SNL and Y'all Saints, being a chaperone for Outings, mission trips and pilgrimages, they can also be drivers for events and being a helper at SNL.

Youth Vestry

The Youth Vestry is a leadership council of ten youth that casts a vision for the youth program and for the youth’s engagement with the broader parish. The vestry includes one representative from each component of the youth program (morning formation, SNL, acolytes, and other worship leaders, a member of the social media guild) and from each grade level (9th-12th plus an “at large” member). The vestry meets once a semester (fall, spring, and summer) for a pre-scheduled Zoom meeting to discuss the state of the youth program and envision what’s next. They may be called upon at times throughout the program year to meet for a brief Zoom call to discuss a particular matter.
