Friends and Fellowship
Grace-St. Luke's Episcopal Youth Community (EYC) meets regularly as a group and organizes frequent events for young people. And you don't have to be a member of Grace-St. Luke's to attend! Many of our EYC participants go to other churches... or no church at all.

Happening
Happening is a renewal weekend held twice annually for Episcopal youth in grades 10-12. The weekend provides teens with a way to explore their spirituality while living and learning with others their age who want to share the faith they've found in Jesus Christ. Teens lead all the activities, including small group discussion, large group activities, and singing. The environment is open and honest, as the adults present serve in the background roles of cooks and chaperones. Two priests serve as spiritual directors. Those who attend Happening are given an opportunity to experience Christ's love first hand. For many, it is the beginning of their adult Christian journey.
