Diocesan
youth events in January and February
HAPPENING
#47,
Grades 9-12 Hardtner Camp & Conference Center, January 23-25, 2009
Happening is a Christian experience designed for high school youth that is
held in virtually every diocese in The Episcopal Church. The Happening weekend
seeks to bring young people to a fuller personal knowledge of, and a personal
relationship with, the Lord Jesus Christ and to a deeper level of commitment
and apostleship. During the three-day gathering, the participants will experience
the love of our Lord Jesus Christ as shown through the sacraments and the
ministry of fellow students, clergy, and lay adults. The teens are encouraged
to take a new faith back into their worlds, and to make a friend, be a friend,
and bring a friend to Christ.
To attend, students must submit an application signed by a parent and the
student's rector. You will find the Happening application at parish churches
or www.diocesewla.org/youthmin. For more information contact Monet Brashear:
