The Happening Experience
A Happening is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Through this experience the Happening encourages participation in one's own parish and youth group. Is Christianity relevant to youth today? Can it penetrate the many areas of school life? Can it transform the world and keep up with changing times? The Happening movement thinks so. It does not propose a new type of spirituality, but provides a method through which one's spirituality may be developed, nourished, lived and shared in fellowship with Christians willing to dedicate their lives to God in an ongoing manner. The Happening movement believes that Jesus Christ has and will continue to make a difference in the world and in individual lives. Those attending Happening listen to thought-provoking and challenging talks given by members of the staff and clergy. These talks are designed to help the Happeners get to know God. After each talk, the opportunity is given for questions and discussion in small groups.
ATTENTION all 7th - 9th GRADERS
The next Y.E.S. #96 will be held at Camp Allen on November 20 - 22. The cost of this weekend is $65. The deadline for registering is November 1st or when full. If you are interested in attending as a participant or simply have any questions, please contact Tony or Barbara Alvarez at bjalvarez65@hotmail.com or 986-5678. Please prayerfully consider if God is calling you to attend. Through generous donation, we are able to offer scholarships to attend, so please don't let the $65 fee keep you from going!

What is Y.E.S.?
A Youth Encounter Spirit (Y.E.S.) weekend brings together members of the 7th-9th grade youth of the Diocese of Texas as a Christian community. The 7th-9th grade participants and adult sponsors from youth groups among the parishes and mission churches of our diocese become members of the Y.E.S. family. The focus of Y.E.S. is "on who Christ is". Y.E.S. helps foster a clearer appreciation of self, richer relationships with others and a deeper experience with Jesus. Being part of the Y.E.S. family is fun. The weekend affords a loving environment in which to enjoy the warmth of a personal relationship with our Father and His unconditional love. Y.E.S. is one of the many ways God is equipping the youth (and adults) of this diocese for service in furtherance of His eternal purposes.
