Happening #55 Information:

    For a couple years now, Jonelle has been working on getting Happening started her in the Diocese of Missouri.  With Bishop Smith's blessing and the help of Heidi Clark, formerly in the Office of the Bishop, and Florrie Kohn, Jonelle established a relationship with the Happening group in the Diocese of West Missouri.

    Jonelle has been working with the Happening group in the Diocese of West Missouri to get Happening started here at home.  In order to get our own program started, we need to have a strong group of both youth and adults, all with Happening experience, to staff our event.  So, to do that, the West Missouri group has been generous enough to open up their program up to us.  Now, with the group that we have, we will be able to hold our first Happening weekend in the Diocese of Missouri in March, 2008!!

    The first event we attended in the Diocese of West Missouri was their Happening #55, held on March 9-11, 2007 at Grace Church in Carthage, Missouri.  Jonelle took 4 youth to attend that event.  This was the first group from the Diocese of Missouri to attend Happening and 3 of the youth would go on to be on staff at Happening #56 in October. 

    It was a wonderful event, with lots of memories made and friendships started.
