• Youth Group
Youth activities occur at various times. Youth Advisory Group plans youth group events throughout the year. It is made up of youth and adults and meets approximately once a month. Many activities are on Sunday evenings. Watch for emails and postcards and announcements in the Sunday bulletins for details of each event.
Some activities will be for the entire group. Gap Kids, Rite 13, J2A and YAC will meet separately as well.
• Youth Advisory Group (YAG)
The YAG is a group of youth and adults who meet quarterly or more often to plan our recreational Sunday evening activities and special events.
• Acolytes
This ministry, shared by youth and adults, is open to persons in the 4th grade and up. If you would like to serve at the Altar, there is a place for you.
Training sessions are offered the first Saturday of each month for those who wish to serve as acolytes. Contact Larry Krauser.
• Youth Greeters and Ushers
We encourage young people to assist in worship duties as greeters and ushers. Youth interested in serving this way go through a brief training session.
• Youth Lectors and Intercessors
Lector training is available to young people who wish to participate in worship by reading lessons. Also, youth may be scheduled to read the Prayers of the People.
• Kids' Word
Children ages 3-8 are invited to enjoy Kids' Word (Gospel-related activities) in place of Sunday's 9:00 sermon. Kids' Word meets most every Sunday. Children should meet the Kids' Word leader at the doors by the Chapel during the hymn before the Gospel.
• Palm Saturday
Through stories, crafts, music, games and worship, children 4-12 years explore the Feast of All Saints and the Passion Week, respectively.
• Waycross Summer Camp
Summer programs at Waycross Episcopal Camp are available for young people from eight years through the high school years. Waycross is located in Brown County, Indiana. The camp's mission is to serve all who seek fellowship, respite, reflection and growth by providing Christian hospitality and enriching programs.
