The Conference Council on Youth Ministries (CCYM) is excited to announce a June 14 live streamed alternative event for Youth Annual Conference 2020.

Our virtual YAC will take place at 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 14. We will live stream our keynote speaker, Shane Claiborne, as well as the band, Tribe Collective, who will lead us in a prerecorded time of worship. For those who register for this event and cannot make the scheduled time, you will be able to watch it at your convenience at a later date.

To help enhance this virtual experience, YAC party boxes will be available for youth leaders to purchase, which will include t-shirts, lanyards, key tags, candles, and other items. Boxes are $15 per person and will be delivered to churches two weeks prior to the June 14 virtual Youth Annual Conference date.

Registration, which includes party box orders, ends May 13, so get your group registered ASAP on our website www.eocumc.com/yac.

Those who have already registered for YAC will be contacted personally.
