Hey y'all,

     Kim Blair here one of your co-coordinators for communications. At St.Mathew's church in Abbotsford we are having our next BCYAYM Council meeting. At our meeting we will be dicussing everything from the Young Sojourners weekend coming up to our Centennial next year and our annual Fall Conference! :D We'd love to have you join us. Please hang out, eat snacks, and make YOUR thoughts matter for the best Anglican youth event this side of the Rockies. We would love any locals to come on in and stop by.

Come be a part of the movement! :)

Amanda is a newly elected member of council.  She shares her thoughts and gives some highlights from the BCYAYM council's 10th, 11th, 12th November meeting in Cadboro Bay, Vancouver Island.

BCYAYM annual Fall Conference took place this past Thanksgiving Weekend at St Saviour’s Penticton.  There were over 90 people who attended and took part over the weekend. of Fr. Bill Cliffs theme sessions on “The Bible Says… WHAT!?”  Cameron Gutjahr, a member of the council, shares his thoughts on the weekend.

Wow, conference 2011 is over.  As we return to our lives back in the “real world”; to school, work, our hometowns, let us not forget that we are no longer the same as we were before. 

Alex is the current Chair of the BCYAYM council and shares his thoughts on Fall Conference 2011 in Penticton after a council meeting on the 17th and 18th of September.

With Thanksgiving only a week away, I know my mind is already occupied with the happy thoughts of what another BCYAYM weekend will mean; Great fun, spiritual growth, and exhaustion. I can tell that we’ll all walk away from next weekend tired, and if that turns out true, it’ll be thanks to some awesome planning.

Registration and Information forms here!
