Summer Programs
CAMP EAGLE -- BIBLE ADVENTURE CAMP FOR J HIGH (CURRENT 5TH-8TH GRADERS)
Tuesday, July 5 through Saturday, July 9, 2022
Camp Eagle's mission is to inspire Christ-like change through outdoor adventure, authentic relationships, and Biblical truth. Hiking the hill country, swimming in the Nueces River, flying down the Zip 3k serve as the backdrop for serious Bible study, joyous worship, and relationship building.
The group will leave Tuesday morning in 15-passenger vans. All food, including lunch on the road, will be provided. A packing list will be released about a month before our trip.
The total cost of the trip is $450. We ask a $50 deposit from each family to hold their youth's spot. Scholarships are available to anyone who needs it, and we will be doing fundraising events to offset the cost. Last year we were able to successfully send all youth to camp through fundraising efforts.

SUMMER MISSION TRIP -- SERVICE LEARNING CAMP IN ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO FOR SR. HIGH (CURRENT 9TH-12TH GRADE)
Saturday, June 25 through Saturday, July 2
We are working with Service Learning Camps to do mission work in the Albuquerque area. Although the final itinerary is not set, we are more than likely going to be working with a Pueblo housing initiative building homes for Pueblo peoples, building wheelchair ramps for home access, working in a community garden, and a food pantry. We are also planning on getting in a hike at the Petroglyph National Monument, visiting the Pueblo Cultural Center, and the Albuquerque Plaza.
We will be driving vans, taking 2 days to get there and back, and will be staying at a local church in the area. We will be packing food (or purchasing there) for continental breakfasts and picnic lunches, and dinners will be in local restaurants. We will plan on visiting a laundromat halfway through the visit. A detailed itinerary and packing list will be released about a month before our trip.
The total cost of the trip is $450. We ask a $50 deposit from each family to hold their youth's spot. Scholarships are available to anyone who needs it, and we will be doing fundraising events to offset the cost. Last year we were able to successfully send all youth to camp through fundraising efforts.

Youth Group
Sunday Nights @ 6pm-7:15PM
Join us Sunday nights at 6PM. We gather, share a meal and our Pows & Wows (one good thing and one not so good thing) from the week, play a game together then do a short Bible Study. Bring $5 for the meal--if you don't have it, come anyway!
We are using Teen Text. We look at one of the readings from that Sunday's lectionary and Go Deep, Be Real, Let Go. Plus we look at different media (film, art, literature) that illustrate the reading.
Occasionally Youth Group will meet off campus for a fun activity such as bowling, rock climbing, trampoline parks, etc. Newcomers and friends are always welcome!
Text “@stdsyo” to 81010 for info and text reminders about events.
The Acolyte Corps offers youth the opportunity to read Scripture, assist in the administration of the Holy Communion, and to commit to serve on a regular basis under the direction of a lay leader on Sunday Mornings and at special services. Contact Mitch LeJeune
Youth and a senior adult parishioner are paired to meet for lunch and fellowship and to strengthen the bonds of our congregation across generations. The Prayer Partners shared prayer cards so that they would continue to pray for each other over the course of the year. If you are interested in joining, please email Sarah Quiroga or call 281-440-1600.
