Episcopal Youth Music Camp Touches Generations

by Lindsay Hardin Freeman

Thousands of years ago, after Moses' people crossed the Red Sea to flee the oppressive rule of the Egyptians, Miriam shook her tambourine and urged the Israelite women into a celebration of song and dance. Her song - and that of Deborah’s victory over the Philistines 400 year later - are some of the oldest fragments of the Bible, committed to memory and voice and handed down from generation to generation.

That same spirit - that of joy and music and faith handed down to the young - filled the grounds of Camp Heartland in Willow River from August 8 - 14 as the Episcopal Youth Music Camp (EYMC) celebrated fifty years of history. Read full story.

 

 

Support the people of Haiti

How you can help

First and foremost, pray without ceasing.

Secondly, make a donation to Episcopal Relief and Development, which has established a Haiti Fund to provide critical assistance such as food, water and medicine, as well as long-term recovery and rehabilitation aid, in the aftermath of the earthquake. You can access their website by clicking this link: https://www.er-d.org/donate-select.php.

Third, use the bulletin insert prepared by Episcopal Relief and Development.

Finally, with long-term recovery in mind, encourage your congregation to partner with a Haitian church. Contact the Partnerships Office of the Episcopal Church.
