St. Aidan’s Mission Trip 2012
Attention all rising 9-12 graders interested in participating in the St. Aidan’s Mission Trip: We are planning to travel to Eleanor, West Virginia July 15-21, 2012 and want you to join us for an incredible week of being with other teens who want to have fun and serve God by helping repair homes of those in need. St. Aidan’s teens and chaperones have made this trip for the past 2 years and have great stories to share of their experiences. Check out the Reach Workcamp website at www.reachwc.org for all the details. A fifty dollar deposit is all that is needed now to secure your spot, the remaining cost will be paid by group fundraising efforts and outreach support from the church.
The
main fundraiser will be held
on February 25, 2012 and we
need help from all the kids
and families who plan to participate
in the mission trip to make
this event a huge success. Please
be on the lookout for more announcements
and contact Melissa or Bill
Waide for any questions or concerns.
Thanks for your interest and
support of this meaningful ministry.

EYC provides time for fellowship and spiritual growth opportunities for youth to form a community committed to living out the words of our baptismal covenant.
With God's help we will:
- Proclaim by word and example the good news of God in Christ
- Seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving our neighbor as ourselves
- Strive for justice and peace among all people and respect the dignity of every human being.
In addition to weekly activities, such as games, movies, and rock wall climbing, members participate in several retreat events each year that combine spiritual development with first-class fun activities.
