Good Friday Overnight for Youth
Gather at the Foot of the Cross 

Join young people from across the diocese to experience the practice of compassionate witness through creative expression. Attendees will participate in poetry workshops and performance activities that empower youth to speak their truth while listening and learning from their peers.

Participants will create new written work, individually and in groups, that speaks to their experiences and reflects on the meaning of Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection for the world around us today. Youth will be invited to share their poems and stories at a mini-open mic at the overnight.

Event is for middle- and high-school aged young people.

This overnight event begins with a meal on Friday night. A light breakfast on Saturday morning will also be served.  It also includes a Friday night worship in the darkened sanctuary.

NOTE:  This is a "lock-in" style overnight.  Participants should be prepared to sleep on the floor of the church. Bring sleeping bags, pillows, and if desired, sleeping pads or mats.  (The floor is carpeted.)  Due to space limitations, large inflate-a-bed mattresses may be problematic.

Cost:  $15/person.  Scholarship support is available upon request.

Each participant, both youth and adult, must come with completed "Consent" and "Medical/Emergency Contact Information" forms.

Advance registration no later than noon, April 12, 2017, is required.
