Mission Trips & Outreach
The youth of the Episcopal Diocese of West Texas are constantly going on mission trips and outreach opportunities to serve others. If you do not see a particular trip or would like to post pictures from a recent event, contact Kelly Harris.
July 2009 - The High School youth group from St. Stephen’s Wimberley with a few add-ons from around the Diocese spent a week in Chicago in July on Mission trip. The group stayed at a community church in South Chicago only 2 blocks from the White Sox stadium. Besides truly enjoying the Urban setting we called home for the week, we were divided into teams combining with churches from Pennsylvania, Minnesota and Ohio. The teams were then dispersed throughout the city working with homeless, children in summer programs, adult day care facility for individuals with physical and mental handicaps, an urban garden and a soup kitchen. We were also able to visit some of the sights such as MillenniumPark an had a picnic at the park on the shores of Lake Michigan our last evening there. It was truly an amazing experience as the pictures show.
