DC Pilgrimage February 2018

Camp Trinity
Camp Trinity is the Episcopal Camp of the Diocese of East Carolina. Many members of our parish have not only attended camp as campers there, but have also worked on staff. In 2017, they will be having a NEW STARTER CAMP for Rising 2nd-4th Graders! There are week long sessions available for rising 3rd-12th Graders as well. There are also scholarships available.

Serving at Worship
Acolytes
The Acolyte Guild at Christ Church has a long rich history of service and of learning. Most importantly, our acolytes play a vital role in helping ensure that our worship services run smoothly.
By playing an active role in worship services, our youth learn how we celebrate our faith throughout the liturgical year. By serving at baptisms, confirmation, weddings and funerals, they learn how we care for the faithful through our Christian sacraments. In the process, they learn both responsibility and leadership skills that help prepare them for the roles they will play as leaders of the church in adulthood.
Lectors & Eucharistic Ministers
Young people are invited to be in the regular rotation of lectors and Eucharistic Ministers (16 & up) for any of our worship services. We ask all lectors to go through a brief training and orientation.
Sound Techs
Young people, age 12 and older, who have an interest in learning about operating the church’s sound board and other sound systems, run the soundboard during the Sunday and special services are invited to be a Sound Tech. They are scheduled for Sunday services and volunteer for special services. If you are interested in serving in this capacity, contact Jackie McDaniel.
Contact Ashley Simpson, Director of Children’s and Youth Ministry for more information.
