Youth in the Diocese (grades 7-12)OTHER PAGES: Families with Younger Children | Ministry at the University of Delaware Junior High Wintercamp was held March 5-7. Upcoming EventsThe next Youth Council meeting will be on Saturday, May 17, 10:00 to 12:00 noon, at Christ Church in Dover. I hope that all of you can join us. In April, a group of the Youth Council members presented a workshop at Diocesan Convention on Youth Ministry. It was a great opportunity to share the good work that all of you have done over the last few months. It was very well received and attended. At the next meeting on May 17, we will have an update on the Diocesan Youth Minister position which will be in the interview stage by the end of the month. You will have an opportunity to have input on the questions that Riley, our Youth Council representative on the interview team, will be presenting to the candidates. The meeting will also include planning our Fall Kick-Off and tweaking the calendar for next year. Hope to see all of you on May 17! If transportation is an issue for you, please let me know as soon as possible. Thank-you! Peace, Lynne Turner. (Click here for Lynne Turner’s contact information.)
