ATLANTA: October's Young Adult Summit to empower 20- and 30-somethings

August 19, 2008 [Diocese of Atlanta] The Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta will host a Young Adult Summit, the first conference of its kind in the Southeast, October 10-12 at Mikell Camp and Conference Center, Toccoa, Georgia.

The weekend is sponsored by Diocese of Atlanta Young Adults (DAYA), a ministry of 20- and 30-somethings. A blend of workshops designed around the theme "The Great Commission" and free time for fellowship comprise the weekend.

"Our aim is empowering young adults to take their spirituality into their own hands and discern how they can live out the gospel in their own lives," says Lauren Woody, diocesan coordinator for young adults. "DAYA was created to help young adults grow in their faith and connect with their peers, and through the Young Adult Summit we want to continue this mission on an even broader scale, enabling us to reach out to the wider Episcopal community."

Bishop Neil Alexander of Atlanta will be keynote speaker and spend the weekend with participants to learn what they want and need from the church and to assist him in developing a vision for the ministry of young adults. 

Interested young adults may register online here. Further information is available from Woody at Lauren@dofaya.org or 404-601-5358.
