Wyoming Diocese Youth Event

Calling all young Episcopalians grades 6 through 12! There is a Diocesan youth event at St. James Episcopal Church in Riverton Feb. 22nd to Feb. 24th.

This is the first of four quarterly diocesan-wide youth events for 2013. The event will begin at 7 p.m. Friday night and will include fun activities, reflection, a service project on Saturday, planning time for our next gathering, and worship with St. James on Sunday morning.

This event is built upon the framework of the popular Happenings program. Leaders for this first event are Trent Moore, St. John’s, Jackson; Syd Johnson, HR Camp Director; and Tristan English. The cost for the event is $10.

St. John’s annual Pancake Supper is back! This tradition marks the beginning of Lent and also brings in a few dollars to benefit the Cathedral Home for Children in Laramie. Prepared by the men of St. John’s, we’ll have pancakes, sausage, juice & coffee. Donations welcome, and anyone who’d like to help serve, can!

The supper begins at 5:30 on Tuesday, February 24; servers should plan to be there at 5. Thanks!

The annual trek to the Five Springs campground by members of St. John’s resulted in some fair-to-middlin’ sledding:

The annual trek to the Bighorns in search of Christmas trees took place on Saturday, November 29. Five Springs campground was a little chilled with blustery winds, but they eventually calmed and a good time was had by all in attendance. A roaring campfire was started, hot dogs and chili was consumed and the children sledded to their hearts’ content. Look for a specially cut tree to be decorated at St. John’s soon.
