What is Youth @ General Synod?

This is a youth program for for high school students (grades 9 - 12). 

Our 2009 program will run from June 24 - June 30

(with groups departing on July 1),

and will combine General Synod events with three days of service projects, evening programs, social opportunities and after hours activities.  It's a great chance to learn about and participate in the wider church and to grow in faith, service and friendship with your peers in the United Church of Christ.  Since financial and transportation considerations force many youth groups to choose between a mission/service trip and wider church gathering each summer, we are offering a General Synod program that includes mission/service experience.
