Christian Formation in the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Virginia

Upcoming Event

The Episcopal Diocese of Southern Virginia

Youth Formation in the 21st Century

with

Jenifer Gamber

This one-day workshop will gather youth leaders in parishes and at the diocesan level to re-imagine a ministry to youth in the 21st century that sustains and honors community. How do you feed yourself as a youth leader? How do you feed your program? How can we nurture a space that invites teens to explore a living relationship with the Holy within community? What spiritual practices will sustain teens and their faith in a post-modern world? Together we will learn habits of community that honor God, self and neighbor in an increasingly dynamic world.

When: Saturday, June 7, 2008, 9:30 – 3:00 pm

Where: St. Martin’s, Williamsburg

Cost: $15.00 (includes lunch)
