Fall 2010 is upon us!
Well folks,
I have to admit, I haven't been the best about keeping up this blogsite - however, I do continue to do my best to keep the activity schedule and posts relevant and current - so hopefully I'll do better this fall. Other places to keep up with what's happening with Our Saviour's youth includes: Facebook - yep, we have a youth page there, and a church page!, The Acorn - the parish newsletter is chock full of info every month!, and being in church for announcements and at events with other youth! If you aren't getting regular emails from me then I probably don't have your email address - so send me a message and you'll get regular reminders of what is on the horizon and when and where you need to be signed up for something!
I'm looking forward to another great fall, and am continually thankful for the help of volunteers, including:Andy Castillo, Ann Hackney, Ann Walton Townsend, Dudley Greene, Will Roberts, Elizabeth Stroup and Emily Faulks!
See y'all in church!

Summer 2009
Hey Y'all,
Welcome to summer!
June is a busy month for Mary Cat and Our Saviour's Youth going from one Mission Trip to the next!
On Friday, June 12, Middle Schooler's from Our Saviour will head off to Augusta, Georgia where we'll join 90 Middle Schoolers from 8 other parishes to participate in Homeworks Jr. High Youth Mission Trip. This is the third year we have joined up with the Church of the Good Shepherd and the other groups to serve Christ by serving the needs of others in the Augusta area. We can look forward to painting, cleaning, and all kinds of hands on work that will show others our care for God's people in the world, and amaze even ourselves with all the Middle School youth are capable of!
On Monday, June 22, our Senior High Youth will gather with 35 other participants form the diocese, and members of 20 other diocese of the province to put our hands and hearts to work at Mission on the Bay, Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, providing continuing Gulf Coast relief work. Watch this blog for pictures, stories and updates on our travels.
Soon it will be July - and that means the next phase of our Summer of Service opportunities will begin! Summer of Service is a weekly service-learning program that gives youth from our community a look at the needs to be met and the organizations seeking to help meet those needs right here in the Rock Hill area. Check out upcoming dates for service sites, and sign up with Mary Cat for S.O.S. Summer of Service 2009: God's work, our hands!
