 If you haven’t visited the Episcopal Church website recently, take a look.  There’s a wide variety of information there about who we are, what we believe, and what we are doing.  One of the really cool things youngs adults are doing in the Church is the Young Adult Service Corps, which gives young adults age 21 to 30 the opportunity to apply for one year service projects in locations all over the globe.  Sign up for a year--for growth, for good, for God!  The next round of applications is due Jan 4, 2013!

 Subtitled “An online magazine for spiritual seekers,” Busted Halo is a Catholic website which seeks to help youg adults explore their spirituality and connect with communities of faith where their unique gifts will be respected and used.  The name comes from the idea that we are all saints in the making, each of us sports a Halo that is dented, scratched or tanished (in other words, Busted), yet God loves us anyway and calls us to polish up our halos.  This site is run by the Paulist Fathers, an American order of Roman Catholic priests known for their commitment to using modern methods of communication to proclaim the ancient Gospel message.
