Calling Youth to Convention!

“Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but be an example for the believers in your speech, your conduct, your love, faith and purity.” - 1 Timothy 4:12

This year our youth have the opportunity to continue to play major roles at our diocesan convention! Teens in grades 10-12 are enthusiastically encouraged to serve in the following
roles:
• Lay Deputies (Deputies are able to vote on resolutions! Youth lay deputies are chosen by
the Districts. Contact your District Convener.)
• Licensed Lay Eucharistic Ministers
• Licensed Lay Readers for Eucharist
• Lectors (including Prayers of the People in foreign languages)
• Pages (help count votes and assist other Convention leaders)
• Sacristan Artists (help design the altar hangings for the services)
• Youth Ministry Ambassadors (working at the Youth Ministry table and promoting our
programs and events to other members of the Diocese)
• Singers and musicians
• Ushers and greeters
Our youth will stay overnight at the Hilton Parsippany, be able to have fun with other young people from the Diocese and learn more about the way the Diocese functions. There is NO COST for this event. We just ask that youth share their experiences with their congregations.
The registration deadline is December 14, 2007.
For more information please contact Kaileen Alston, Diocesan Youth Missioner at (973) 430-9991 or kalston@dioceseofnewark.org.
