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.

We had a great meeting during the Youth Ministry Virtual Open House. Highlights were diving into details for upcoming events and helpful input to create a more user-friendly website…for you and yours!

Those upcoming events include MEGA CAMP that begins on June 1! We have a great contingency from WEMO going this year. Clare and I will be visiting there on Monday, June 2 so if you have anything you’d like us to deliver for your kiddos, please let me know! Please add your prayers to mine (and your parish list) that they will have a safe journey and experience God through the peace of relaxation, the joy of fellowship, and the boundless, amazing beauty of nature!

Kansas Happening is June 27-29 in Elmsdale, KS. I sound like a broken record, but WEMO youth who attend can build up our pool of Happening staffers for when we host again in early 2026!

We are geared up for a fantastic MissionPalooza!!! July 15-20 at St. Paul’s in Kansas City. Youth and adults are going to love these volunteer opportunities. Registration is online and volunteers are needed. Share the flyer or social media image!
It’s sounds early, but don’t calendars fill up fast? Keep in mind –
  • A portion of your evening on Wednesday, August 20 to join a virtual “Back-to-School” opportunity for youth leaders, adult volunteers, parents, and clergy to meet online with the diocesan team (a.k.a. YMC members and hopefully the new Coordinator. Beginning at 7 p.m., this will be a short 30-minute chance to talk about ways we can support each other, upcoming events and engage volunteers. We hope this will give individual churches an opportunity to tag on with a coinciding youth evening agenda!
  • The afternoon of Sunday, September 7 for youth, families and volunteers to gather at St. Paul’s in Clinton and welcome the Bishop Amy Dafler Meaux; mobile with picnic foods and more!
  • Plans are in the works for a Friday/Saturday Diocesan Convention Youth Gathering November 7-8 in Kansas City…and another date for the calendar. An adult Happy Hour might just be happening, too….just another opportunity to network, spread the word and enjoy each other’s company!
In regard to Safe Church coursework and the website in general, your feedback is so helpful in making the WEMO Youth website more user friendly….so thank you!
And finally, the Youth Ministry Coordinator job is now available for anyone to apply! If you, or someone you know is interested, apply now.
