"Stop Hunger Now" event for youth
Sunday, October 7, 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.
Eastern Shore Chapel, Virginia Beach
All youth and their advisors are invited to join us for a special Stop Hunger Now meal-packing event. Stop Hunger Now
is an international hunger relief organization that coordinates the
distribution of food and other life-saving aid around the world. At our
event, we will assemble more than 10,000 highly nutritious meals to be
used in crisis situations and in school feeding programs in developing
countries. The event will conclude with a celebratory Eucharist.
Please register your group, so we know how many people will attend. Click here for online registration.
Snacks will be offered for participants. There is no registration fee
for groups, but you are encouraged to bring donations with you for Stop
Hunger Now. If you have questions, please contact Mary Lou Crifasi,
Convocation Youth Director, at mcrifasi@easternshorechapel.org or
Ashley Scruggs, Youth Missioner, at ascruggs@diosova.org. This event is
co-sponsored by Convocation II Youth Ministries and the Episcopal
Diocese of Southern Virginia. Click here for an event flyer.

"Play It Forward" outreach project for youth and young adults
Youth and young
adults from Virginia Beach are invited to team with St. Aidan's,
Virginia Beach, to build a playground for a young child with cancer.
The building will begin on the evening of October 19 and be completed
the morning/afternoon of October 20. This project is being
coordinated through Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters and Roc
Solid Foundations, a local organization that builds custom play sets for
pediatric cancer patients. (www.rocsolidfoundation.org) We are looking for at least 25 volunteers to help with this. Specific details are still being worked out but save the dates. Contact Brian Collins (briangcollins@me.com) for more information.
