Rite 13
(students in grades 6 and 7 or ages 12-13)
Meets weekly at 9:20 a.m. on Sunday mornings in Warden's Hall
Led by Dan Hagen, Pete Strickland, Azi Golshan

Rite-13 helps young people build deep friendships, connect the themes of Scripture to their lives, learn about the ministries in the congregation, get involved in outreach, and discover approaches to spirituality and prayer. Youth learn to acknowledge the gift of gender, honor the sacredness of their creative power, and foster a safe haven to explore new ideas, interests and abilities in the context of lots of fun! Its highlight is the "Rite-13" celebration, at the youth's 13th birthday, which includes a festive dinner and a powerful liturgy during morning worship.
