Barbara C. Harris Summer Camp
The brochures for the Barbara C. Harris Summer Camp have arrived and are on the shelf in the vestibule of the Parish House.
I would like to highlight Choir Camp, which will be held August 3-9. Children who are rising 4-12 graders are invited to a week of singing, playing drums, and all the wonderful camp activities.
We sing music from all around the world as well as traditional Church music. The campers offer Evensong on Thursday night at the Episcopal Church in Peterborough, and a their final sung Morning Prayer
on the last day of Camp. Please speak to Miriam for details. Scholarships are available.
Evening Prayer
Evening Prayer will take place in the Chapel, 6:30 - 7:00 PM. All are welcome to attend and participate.
Come for the quiet, the candle light, a time to pray and meditate -- and a time to thank God for blessings of the day.
Youth of Grace: Bishop Tom Shaw wants to lay his hands on you!
Confirmation Sunday is scheduled for June 21, 2008 at Grace Church.
Young men and women who will be 16 this spring are called to confirm their Baptismal Vows. David Barbrow, Ed Pease and Scott Aquilina will be working with the J2A group this fall to begin preparing for this Special Event! Put this date on your calendars and also plan to attend the overnight Pre-confirmation Youth Retreat on March 28-29, 2008 at the Barbara C. Harris Conference Center in NH. Adult Volunteers are needed to help prepare our youth for Confirmation. You'll be hearing from us!
