| 30 HOUR FAMINE Good Shepherd youth joined with youth from Church of the Redeemer and St. Paul’s, Kansas City, MO, for the 30 hour famine on June 11th and 12th. The youth baked cookies which were donated to St. Paul’s, Kansas City, Kansas, served breakfast to the homeless at St. Paul’s in KC, KS, and went on a canned food scavenger hunt. The canned goods collected were donated to the Backpack Shepherd Program. Thanks to all who sponsored our youth as they went without food for 30 hours to provide monetary support for World Vision.

Pilgrimage – July 31-August 7 Exploring Our Anglican Roots—Part II Three years ago we set out on a journey to Virginia and through that experience we began to understand that there is more depth, more foundation to our faith than we might otherwise notice. When we’re interested, there’s much more to dig into to deepen and strengthen our faith. It’s time to go back and visit the historic ―rootedness‖ in our faith—by exploring real events and real people God has worked through to make our country what it is—and us who we are-—today. Age: Youth participants must be entering 9th grade as of fall 2010 or a recent 2010 high school graduate. Dates: Saturday, July 31—Saturday, August 7 Cost: $425 per person. This includes all transportation, lodging, breakfast and dinner each day, admission and tour tickets. |
