Club
45
Children in fourth and fifth grades are invited to participate in Club
45, our 4th and 5th grade youth group. Club 45 convenes approximately six Friday
evenings during the school year for chaperoned, fun-filled fellowship activities
such as rock climbing, skating and movie-going. Club 45 is also involved in community
service projects that make a difference in the lives of others. To learn more
about the fun-filled and meaningful Club 45 experience, or to volunteer to chaperone
an afternoon or evening with Club 45, please contact Betsy Tyson, our Director of Children's
Ministries at 288-2867, ext. 313.

Diocesan Youth Ministry
The Diocese of Virginia offers weekend events for junior and senior high youth. Parish Youth Ministries (PYM), a diocesan committee composed of senior high students from churches around the diocese, plans and leads these events which also include adult sponsors. St. Stephen's own J.G. Wood is the co-chair of PYM. Visit the diocesan Web site for information about upcoming events.
The diocese also offers summer camps and conference for children and youth at Shrine Mont. For information and a brochure--or an application for young people who wish to apply for a staff position at a diocesan camp--visit the diocesan Web site.
