We've had a great year so far, and have some things in the works for the fall:

• Diocesan Youth Conference 2024: We Choose Joy - A weekend for youth in grades 7 to 12 to practice choosing joy together! We'll spend time in worship and bible study, playing games, and getting to know one another. We'll also have lots of opportunity to choose between different activities, so that you can make sure you have the the best weekend for you! Find all the details and registration here.
• Godly  Play Maritimes is hosting Core Training for Storytellers and Doorpersons this fall! Check out the poster, with all the details including how to register, here. If you are interested but need financial support to attend, reach out to Allie at youthandfamily@nspeidiocese.ca to see what might be possible.  
• We've wrapped up Community Roots for 2024, but it won't be long before we start planning for 2025! If your parish is thinking about applying to host a camp next year, get the conversation started early by emailing Allie at youthandfamily@nspeidiocese.ca 
• The Welcoming Families in Worship Audit and Reflection Guide is available for download now! Is your parish thinking intentionally about how we shape our space and culture to be more welcoming to families? Download out guide here to start the conversation in your community!
