Our gathering on June 18 will begin with a time of spiritual reflection—an invitation to pause, take a breath, and listen to the Spirit of God and our young people.

Overlapping with our regularly scheduled gathering, from 3:00-4:00 pm, Lifelong Learning at Virginia Theological Seminary is hosting a webinar called "The Threshing Floor: Digital and Embodied Youth Ministry Examined." Ethan Lowery and Tina Boyd will lead a conversation about youth ministry "beyond the church building." More information and a link to register can be found here. Those who wish to participate in that webinar are welcome to join our diocesan gathering when it is over to share with us what we missed!

Note that this ongoing series, which had previously been held every other week, will be transitioning to a monthly basis, on the third Thursday of every month at 3:30.  To suggest topics for future youth ministry sessions, or to volunteer to demonstrate a game or activity or lead a discussion, contact the Rev. H. Mark Smith, Diocesan Youth Missioner.
