27 parishes represented at Blackstone Weekend

March 23-25, youth in grades 8-12 from around our diocese gathered for Blackstone 2012: Episcopal 101. 27 parishes were represented at the weekend. Designed by the EYC Board, the weekend offered reflections on what it means to be an Episcopalian, small group conversation, variety in worship, including an Agape Meal and Eucharist, workshops, a dance, and much more.
