More Than Summer of FUN... Regional Youth Events

If you missed on of the five Regional Youth Events held across the country this summer than you missed a lot. In addition to the Summer of FUN, RYE's had wonderful worship services, engaging service projects, youth led and oriented workshops, family circles, liturgical dance, Sheltered Reality, professional musicians and resources. The Brown Brothers and I made the rounds and the award for most frequent flyer miles went to Ken Brown of Justice and Witness; and Tim Brown of the LGBT Coalition. Ken and Tim did a wonderful job representing the national setting and each of the planning committees did a GREAT job in putting together the events. So shout outs to:

Western Regional Planning Committee
Southern Regional Planning Committee
Great Lakes Regional Planning Committee
West Central Regional Planning Committee
Mid Atlantic Regional Planning Committee

Unfortunately, the New England Regional Youth Event was cancelled. Thank you to all of the volunteers and planners who worked very hard and had to make the difficult decision to cancel.

Each RYE had its own unique flavor and we'd love for you to tell us all about what you HEARD and SAW. So send us your comments about the RYE you attended and a few photos. Email your RYE reflections and photos to mccalld@ucc.org. Some of the folks from the WCRYE have started us off in grand fashion. So take a look and relive some of the fun or see what you missed during this summer's RYE's. (this link is not yet active)
