Youth



Our youth programs are as varied as the youth themselves. Through morning and evening fellowship, study and service, we strive to both challenge and lift up each and every young person that God sends us.  We love to participate in a multitude of local and diocesan events as well as supporting each other in our own activities and spending time together in fellowship.

Weekly at St. Cyprian's...

Monthly events...

DAY OUT/NIGHT IN

The second Saturday of every month is our gender specific DAY OUT/NIGHT IN event. Each group will switch every month and get together for either a day out or night in doing something fun with the girls or guys and their EYC sponsors. This is a great time to enjoy each other's company and fellowship together in a different way! If you'd like to join our team of sponsors who plan and participate in these once-a-month events, contact Carolina at 936.639.1253.

HUMANE SOCIETY SERVICE

The fourth Saturday of every month is an opportunity for our group to go volunteer at the Humane Society from 10 AM-12 PM. Responsibilities often include socializing or bathing the dogs or helping to keep the areas in which they live and play clean and organized. This is a great way to do our part in caring for God's creation. If you have a heart for animals and service...mark your calendar!
