Backyard Mission Experience
Tuesday, July 5 - Friday, July 8
Grades 6 - 12
Backyard Mission Experience will be a local mission experience where we will serve for a week, alongside ministries throughout Cincinnati.
Students entering Grade 6 through those graduated from Grade 12 will be participating in things like building projects, creation care, day camps, communing with those who are experiencing homelessness and sickness, and more.
This event is a collaboration between The Episcopal Church of the Redeemer, St. Barnabas, Christ Church Cathedral, and others!
Youth will have the opportunity to choose which days they want to serve during the week, if participating in the entire week is not possible.
Each day, we will have a speaker who will talk with us about a specific social justice issue, and our service for the day will correlate with that topic.
The heart behind this experience is transformation through justice-minded serving, meaningful interactions, and individual/group reflection in order to see the work that God is already doing and how God is calling each of us to partner in that Kingdom work. The hope is that we will gain a renewed energy and sense of where God is leading us to continue serving in our local communities throughout the year.
Appropriate COVID-19 protocols will be followed, as necessary.
Complete the registration & waiver online.
If you have any questions, please contact Tym House, minister for youth and young adults at The Episcopal Church of the Redeemer.
