Kim Snodgrass, Interim Missioner for Youth Ministry, is keeping the diocese busy with youth events and other related news. Please check out the updates below and see how you and your youth can get involved.
You’ll be glad to hear the Kansas Happening was a great weekend for the four youth and one adult from WEMO there! Seeds are being planted….
Unfortunately, though, we found this was not the year to revive MissionPalooza. Despite our enthusiasm and efforts, registrations did not reach the critical mass required at our worksites. As a result, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel this incredible event for now. While this is disappointing, we remain hopeful and committed to bringing MissionPalooza back in the future when the time is right. Thank you to everyone who expressed interest and support.
Looking ahead, there is a lot to be excited about! Diocesan-wide and regional youth ministry will be gaining momentum, especially as new leadership comes on board. Please stay connected and help keep things moving forward by making sure these upcoming dates are on your calendar…

On Wednesday, August 20, come join a virtual WEMO Youth Ministry Leadership Meeting just in time for back to school. This brief 30-minute meet up with leadership across around the diocese is for adult volunteers, parents, clergy and the Diocesan team. Beginning at 7 p.m. we’ll talk about ways we can support each other, upcoming events and engage volunteers. We encourage churches to tag onto this with a coinciding youth evening agenda! Register here so we know you’re coming!

It’s a Gathering with Bishop Meaux! Load the car for a Sunday drive. From 4-6 p.m. come enjoy picnic foods, games and a visit with Bishop Amy. Extend a personal invitation to encourage others to be there. Everyone will be home in good time to settle in for the week ahead. Plan a caravan from church…and register here to let us know you’ll be there!

Make plans to attend the November 7-8 at this year’s convention Diocesan Youth Gathering (DYG)Â in Kansas City. Plans are underway for convention themed “fun with purpose” sessions, observing youth delegates in action on the convention floor, leading Morning Prayer service and music on Saturday morning, and much more. The more the creative brains involved, the better – please share your ideas for engaging sessions with me. Registration information and a schedule will be ready soon.
