THEME THOUGHTS FOR YOU

5X5: It is radio code for being all clear.  Sort of like the ‘can you hear me now’ commercials.  For the Buffy fans in the crew it is also something that Faith commonly utters which seems analogous with ‘cool’.  What brings the ‘all clear’ to your life and the lives of your peers? What causes the static and the not ‘all clear’??
The scripture for the event is the parable of the Good Samaritan.  Do you know it as well as you imagine?  Have you really read it?  Can you search for cool online videos of the story?  How about children’s bible versions of the parable??  What is the primary question of the parable and what is the answer??????  How does this speak to the life of young people right now??

New Beginnings: 5x5 November 14-15-16 in Richland!



5x5 is the radio code that means ‘all clear’.   


This New Beginnings weekend will be exploring how Christian practice and community can bring a sense of '5x5' when your life seems anything but clear. 

New Beginnings: 5x5 will include at least 5 of each of these:

  • talks/small groups on issues important to teen life right now
  • prayer/worship events
  • games
  • meals
  • snacks
  • new friends
  • songs
  • surprises!
This year's event will be held at All Saint's Episcopal Church in Richland, Washington.

New Beginnings: 5x5 is supported by the Episcopal Diocese of Spokane and reflects this tradition and our commitments.  That said, all are welcome, no exceptions needed.   
Registration is online, required and will be available at this link!
  •  6-8th graders who want to attend this New Beginning’s event may do so, even if they have gone before.  
  •  7-8th graders who attended previously are eligible to be on the Leadership Team . 
9-12th graders who have attended New Beginnings, TEC, or served as a Camp Cross counselor (or something very similar) will be well prepared for applying to join the leadership team.   9th-12th graders who are active in an Episcopal congregation may certainly apply as well.  

All adults who are currently leading and serving in any Episcopal congregation in the diocese (lay/ordained/paid/volunteer) and are current on safe church training are invited to help assist and chaperone the NB5x5 event.
