National Youth Event 2012

I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:19 (NRSV)

The National Youth Event, held every four years, provides an opportunity for over 3,000 youth ages 13-18 to gather for worship, workshops, faith, fun and fellowship. Click here for a flyer.

The Massachusetts Conference will be registered as a State Delegation. To participate, groups must include an appropriate ratio of chaperones. To join us as a MA Conference church, please register through the Massachusetts Conference website. Register by April 13.  Each person is responsible for their own meals and snacks on travel days. A $10 contribution to gratuity for the bus driver is requested. Are you registering from a church outside of Massachusetts? Please see special instructions.

Service Trip Details
Put your faith in action with summer mission work on the way to NYE! Here’s your chance to do mission work AND enjoy the NYE experience. Get on one of the service project buses on Saturday, July 7 and drive to Cleveland, OH. We will work at the Cleveland Food Bank and urban shelters and learn about poverty issues that confront this mid-western city. You will develop community with friends from neighboring conferences as we travel, cook, worship, and work together. We will “camp out” at an urban church, worship in a sister UCC Congregation in the Cleveland area, do service work in downtown Cleveland, and tour the UCC National Headquarters.

Register here for transportation and choose service bus or express bus option. An $80 deposit is required to hold a space on the bus. Register for NYE here. Cost for the event is $425 per person (double occupancy)
