Friday, March 21 at 5:00pm: Teen Reconciliation and Worship Service at St. John the Evangelist Church

An open invitation to all teens – particularly those preparing to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation this spring – to experience God’s love and mercy.

There will be music, a brief reading from scripture, a short reflection, and a walk through an examination of conscience. The Youth Ministry team will help guide you through all the steps to leaving a little lighter and filled with God’s mercy! 

Interested, but not sure if you’ll feel ready to receive the sacrament?  That’s OK, there will be no pressure – please come to the service anyway, and encourage your friends to come too!

Youth Ministry News: Youth Group Camping Trip

Youth Ministry News: Youth Group Camping Trip

Last week, our Youth Ministry team and members of our high school Youth Group kicked off the summer by bringing back a Youth Group tradition – a camping trip to the Battenkill River in Vermont!

The three hour plus ride flew by, and after a brief stop in Switzerland for snacks and tattoos, we arrived at our campground in Arlington, Vt. We set up our tents and spent the afternoon swimming and playing games. Evening brought a delicious cookout, evening prayer, s’mores, and, of course, songs around the fire!  

After breakfast and morning prayer, we packed up our tents and spent the afternoon floating down the beautiful Battenkill River…
