REGINA — The December Diocesan Youth Event saw six teens celebrate St. Nicholas Day with the congregation of St. Mary on Dec. 6.
The day included all kinds of activities for children and adults, including a café with live music; an outdoor bonfire and sausage grill; a marketplace filled with craft items and gently used décor, toys and books; a bake sale; and a guided tour of our sanctuary and the stained-glass windows.
The teens did it all: shopping, eating, touring the stained-glass windows, and spending time together. After lunch, they each spent some time serving in some of the activity areas, helping out where needed. The event concluded with a light and peace service of carols and readings, complete with a visit from St. Nicholas. Two of the teens read the Scripture selections during the service.
This was a fantastic way to bring Anglican youths from other worshipping communities together with the St. Mary’s community to serve and worship.
