Junior Young People

Lift Up Your Hearts
June 20-25, 2010

Summary

For students rising in grades 7-9, a chance to be in community with other young Episcopalians from many different states. Come on your own, with a friend or in a group. Register now or read on for more details.

We are told to "lift up our hearts" each week at the beginning of Communion but what does this phrase really mean?

At JYP, we will explore what it means to openly, sincerely and thankfully offer your heart to God.

We will name gifts God has given us as, seeking to identify how God provides for us and to discover ways we can live lives that demonstrate thankfulness for those gifts: lives with hearts uplifted!
