Diocesan Convention Youth Presence Lock-In Registration

"*" indicates required fields

Diocesan Convention Youth Presence Lock-In

Established in 1890, the Annual Diocesan Convention is the annual business meeting of The Diocese of West Missouri and acts as the primary legislative body of the diocese. It’s a time when clergy and laypeople from all over the diocese come together to vote on an annual budget — called the ‘Plan for Ministry’, to elect officers, and to hear reports of work from diocesan programs. But more importantly, we join together, worship together, learn together, and discern together — reflecting on becoming a better people of God. Attending Diocesan Convention is a great opportunity to see some of the inner workings of the Episcopal Church and meet other youth and adults from around the diocese. There are lots of ways for youth to be involved. There is no cost to attend, but you need to register in advance. The 2024 Diocesan Convention will be held at Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral in Kansas City on November 8-9. The Youth Presence will include participating in the Convention Eucharist, an overnight lock-in at the Cathedral, a Q&A session with our Bishop Provisional, and more. This year’s convention will culminate in the election of our IX Bishop. The event begins Friday, November 8th at 7pm and ends on Saturday, November 9th at 3pm.

    WEMO Youth Community Covenant

    The WEMO Youth Community Covenant is based on Romans 12:10, with an emphasis on respect. We take it very seriously as it is our standard for behavior and our guide to handling any situations that might arise.

    “Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.”-Romans 12:10

    Participating in Youth Ministry events and activities is a privilege. Participants and adult volunteers are encouraged to enter fully and cooperatively into community life. Standards 1-7 are ideals toward which we strive. Standards 8-12 are non-negotiable and will be enforced on a zero-tolerance basis; if these standards are violated, the violator will be sent home at the expense of the parent/guardian.

    1. Respect the other participants and their property

    2. Respect whoever is speaking.

    3. Respect the adult leaders.

    4. Respect the event staff.

    5. Respect the people encountered at the event.

    6. Respect myself.

    7. Agree to remain with the group during activities

    8. I agree not to commit acts of theft or violence.

    9. I agree not to be involved in bullying

    10. I agree not to use or possess any tobacco, alcohol, marijuana or illegal substances.

    11. I agree not to bring or use fireworks, firearms, or any other kind of weapons.

    12. I accept that sexual behavior is not tolerated, this includes public displays of affection (i.e. holding hands, excessive hugging, kissing, sitting on laps, etc.)
    Participants agree that these are reasonable expectations and they will do everything they can to live up to them. If participants choose to violate the rules set for the event they understand that there will be consequences, which may include parents being notified and being sent home.*
    As parent and/or legal guardian of this child, I have read the above and believe that he/she is capable of aspiring to and following these community expectations and rules. I also understand that if my child fails to meet these expectations, I will be contacted and asked to bring my child home from the event.
