“Out of Egypt!” VCS 2013: Holy Ground

VCS began with a story about Moses…

Image

… who was tending his father-in-law’s flock one day, and encountered a bush that burned, but was not consumed…

Image

At that bush, Moses learned God’s name…

Image

… and heard God tell Moses that God would send him to bring the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt.

 Image

During VCS, we worshipped the God of Israel…

Image

…and we remembered God’s faithfulness to God’s people long ago….Image

Image

…and in our own day.

End of the Year Bash

EYC wrapped up for the year on a Saturday evening in June with games and swimming at a nearby pool.  Jr. EYC challenged Sr. EYC to a game of Ultimate Frisbee, but may have regretted this challenge after the game, and then again after the re-match.  Two low diving boards prompted a synchronized diving competition.  And we sang our last “Be present at our table Lord,…” before our cookout feast.  A fitting end to our year-long endeavor to be an Episcopal Youth Community.
