The Episcopal Diocese of Western North Carolina hosted the Province IV Youth Ministries Leadership and Network Meeting at Lake Logan on December 1-4, 2016. The meeting brings youth and adult leaders from across the southeast together to share experiences, support each other’s ministries, and plan future events.
The group of 31 youth and 30 adults arrived on Thursday night with much enthusiasm. They shared stories of their challenges and successes, played games, did teambuilding exercises, and worshiped together. On Saturday, the group participated in a Stop Hunger Now food packing event. 10,152 meals were packed to be shipped to schools and orphanages throughout the world. South Carolina was represented at the meeting by Andrea McKellar, Christian Basel, and youth participants Kathryn Hart and Helena Upshaw of Grace. All of them are looking forward to partnering with The Episcopal Diocese of Upper South Carolina on youth events such as "Happening" in March, and other Province IV youth events this summer.
