SUMMER  UPDATE

Greetings All!

Well, the summer of 2008 is winding down (and we?re finally getting some summer weather!) and thoughts of both parents and our youth will be turning to school.

We wanted to bring you up to date on the ?Eco-Christian? event we had hinted about earlier this year.

Off the Grid 2008
November 14-16
Canterbury Hills, Ancaster

Attention York-Scarborough Youth and Youth Ministers!

Off The Grid 2008 is a Friday night to Sunday morning event for eco-conscious 11-17 year olds. It's a 24-hour power and electricity fast, designed to engage you with environmental justice issues while explaining the work of PWRDF partners around the globe.

The program, developed by ? the PWRDF?s youth initiative, is a great opportunity to meet other young Anglicans, and work together to discover the impact we have on the environment, and what we can do about it.

We?ll turn off our iPods and cell phones, build solar cookers, calculate our carbon footprints and gather around a campfire. We'll have the opportunity to play The Amazing Race and participate in an environmental Eucharist!  All this, while learning about the difference each one of us can make in the earth?s future.

The cost for the event is only $110 and includes return bus fare, 2 nights accommodation, meals and a cool Off The Grid tee shirt.
