Happening
is a Christian experience designed for high school youths that is held
in virtually every diocese in the Episcopal Church. Happening is one of
the instruments available to renew the church in the power of the Holy
Spirit, so that the church may respond more readily to the Lord’s call
to spread the kingdom of God throughout the world.
Happening weekend seeks to bring young persons 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 the weekend, students must submit an application that is signed
by a parent and the student’s rector. The Happening application is available
by clicking here or from parish churches. The application link on
the website has complete instructions on the submission of the application.
