Fourteen youth and adults from our diocese leave tomorrow for the 2011 Episcopal Youth Event on the campus of Bethel University in Minneapolis/St. Paul. The Episcopal Youth Event (June 22-26, 2011) is a triennial gathering of youth and youth leaders from all over the Episcopal Church and takes place in the year before General Convention. Throughout their travels and time together, our youth will be blogging on their own Tumblr site - eye2011diosova.tumblr.com. Parents, friends and diocesan colleagues will have an opportunity to stay in touch and see what's going on at EYE.
