B-SAFE Program
Campers at St. Stephen’s participate in DEAR -
Drop Everything and Read, one of the many
academic enrichment opportunities
B-SAFE Program, St. Martins/St Augustine, July 20-24, 2009
This will be our third year of serving as a partner church in the “Bishop’s Summer Academic Fun Enrichment Program”. This is a larger effort of the Episcopal Diocese to serve over 450 children at 6 sites in the Boston area in a five week summer day camp. The B-SAFE program provides academic enrichment, sports, field trips, good food, community, and a safe place for kids, plus it is one of the largest provider of jobs for older teens, who are trained as counselors for the day camps.
Partner churches provide a week of food (lunch and snack) at one site plus organize and fund a Friday field trip. St. Mart/St Aug will provide a summer home for 65 elementary school students, as well as jobs for 10 counselors. Monday – Thursday we deliver and serve lunch, and Friday we will sponsor a field trip to Lands Sake, the Weston pool, and cook out for the kids.
PLEASE CONSIDER GIVING US A HAND! IT ONLY TAKES A FEW HOURS TO MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE IN THE LIFE OF A CHILD!
You can help in many ways: shop, prepare a lunch or snack (evening or AM), or help deliver the food.
And, if you cannot help that week, we need 2 to 3 volunteers to pick up a week’s breakfast on a Thursday morning (10:00 AM) at a nearby Costco and deliver it (weeks of July 6 through Aug 7).
And, if you can’t participate, but want to support the program, $$ donations are much appreciated!
Youth Led Services Held May 17th
Youth Led Service -Young folks at St Peter's expertly led services on Sunday, May 17th, offering their voices in leading collects, scripture passages and prayers; their presence in ushering, bringing forward the gifts of bread and wine, and in passing the collection plate; and their musical skills in a beautifully executed postlude. Pastor Voysey reminded all during the service that "young people are not only the future of the Church, they are the Church," and through our young parishioners we know God's grace has been showered beyond measure upon us.
The Prayers of the People take on another dimension when it is our younger members voicing them (l-r: Samantha Marchiony, Athena Ardila, Anne King, Gabriella Ardila (blocked), Matt Jacobs, Will Jacobs).
 Ellie Lachenauer performed
Marcello's Adagio to a
