Wednesday Night Youth Hang at the A-Frame!

Come join us for our Wednesday Night Youth Hangs, happening at the A-Frame, 7-8:30 PM!  

Drop your youth off at 7 PM at the A-Frame (or whenever after-school practices and such are over), and we'll eat supper together, and then have time for some intentional conversation, some prayer, and some fun:)  We'll also sometimes use our Wednesday nights together to love on others in our broader community by making meals, packing hygiene kits, or serving in some other way.  

Mark your calendars for our Wednesday night dates this fall; all youth in grades 6-12 and friends are welcome.

Register for the St. A's Winter Youth Retreat!

We are PUMPED about our February retreat, featuring snow tubing and spiritual disciplines!  We're planning to meet up at the CCJ at 10 AM on Saturday, February 15, and then will head up to Camp Rivervale in Indiana, where we'll hang out by the fire, share meals, play games, go snow-tubing, pray, read, learn, and more!  We'll return midday on Monday, February 17.  All youth and friends in grades 6-12 are welcome.  Cost is $150, and that covers lodging, meals, and activities.  Scholarships are available, too, so please let me know if you would like to take advantage of that.

Sign-ups are fast approaching for Hope Heals Camp 2025!  We took a great crew with us last summer to serve as volunteers, and we are headed back this upcoming summer during the July 20-25 session of camp.  We would love for your youth to join us!  We will plan to register as a group on Tuesday, January 21: all youth who are currently in grades 5-12 and friends are welcome.  The week serving together will not necessarily be easy, but it will be life-giving and fun, and is a great opportunity to walk out our faith as Jesus followers in a community that many of us don't know well.  Questions?  Email Emily at emily@staugustineschapel.org.

Keep/Watch Training!

Keep/Watch exists to equip and empower God’s Church in “keeping watch” with people at risk of suicide. Created out of the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta. 

The Keep/Watch approach to suicide prevention is informed by Scripture, the Book of Common Prayer, statistical data, and evidence-based resources. We want to see all churches become “Keep/Watch congregations”: faith communities that are rooted in worship and welcoming to anyone who needs a place to belong.

Keep/Watch equips people and congregations for upstream prevention, crisis prevention, suicide intervention, and suicide prevention. Read more here.
