“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” – Mark 12:30-31
Jesus called his disciples to give, forgive, teach, and heal in his name. We are empowered by the Spirit to bless everyone we meet, practicing generosity and compassion and proclaiming the Good News of God in Christ with hopeful words and selfless actions. (The Way of Love)
This summer, Episcopal high schoolers will join in a journey of pilgrimage and discovery. We’ll pray together and consider the meaning of Jesus’ teachings. We’ll help in ministries that bless others and show God’s love in Michigan communities. We’ll learn more about what’s in the Bible. We’ll sleep in four different churches and serve in four different communities. Each day will have time for fun, time for service, and small groups to debrief with about the day’s events. We’ll also have a special outing to Michigan’s Adventure on the final day of the trip!
See you on the Journey!

The Progressive Mission Trip is for rising high schoolers – grades 9-12, and graduated seniors, in the 2019-2020 school year.
This event has been subsidized by the Diocesan Domestic Missions program to keep the cost low. Your cost to attend is $75 per person. The deadline to register is July 6th.
We do not want cost to stop anyone from being able to participate. Please contact your parish first to inquire about sponsorship. Additional assistance may be available. Please reach out to Jeff Brown at jeffatgrey@gmail.com, for more information.
