What is Happening? Happening is a youth-led spiritual formation weekend designed for high school teens. It is an amazing experience that changes the way you think about yourself and your faith.

Who can attend Happening? Happening is open to ALL current 9th through 12th grade teenagers of any denomination who have not participated in Happening in the past. If you have participated in Happening and would like to serve on staff you can email Mother Jane-Allison Wiggin-Nettles at jwigginnettles@edola.org.  You need not be Episcopalian to attend, however you must be committed to engage in theological reflection from a Christian perspective.

Who is involved in the weekend? Happening is staffed by youth who have attended Happening in the past, as well as adult "moms" and "dads". There will be a nurse present to administer all medicines, and other Youth Ministers, and adults will also be there to help supervise this amazing weekend. The Youth Rector for #81 is Bella Jung from St. James Baton Rouge.

What should I bring to Happening? Your favorite pillow, throw blanket, toiletries, and enough clothes for the weekend including pajamas. Lodging is 2-3 youth grouped by age and gender in rooms in the "quad". Linens and towels provided.  You may wish to bring a pillow.  You must bring your own toiletries.

Also, bring musical instruments if you play them, a great attitude and an open heart. This is an "unplugged" retreat.  Any cell phones, laptops, iPads or other electronic devices are returned at the end of the weekend.
