Page 13 Youth Coordinator Leah Dail Leah.Dail@stpaulscary.org Fostering the love of Christ in the youth of St. Paul s. The Mission of the Youth Ministry Youth Formation EPISCOPAL YOUTH COMMUNITY Every young person in grades 6-12 who attends St. Paul s is welcome to be a part of the Episcopal Youth Community (EYC). The youth group is divided into middle school and high school programs, though sometimes activities are combined. Friends are always welcome to attend. EYC gathers on Sunday nights for fellowship and fun activities from 5:00-7:00 p.m. with a shared meal at 6:30 p.m. We combine lots of zaniness games, songs, lots of action with worship and service. Our mission is to develop a spiritually rich community of young people through our programming and the presence of faith-filled adults. It s organized chaos, but it works! Theme for March: Service He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all. Mark 9:35
