Nightwatch in the CathedralJoin other young people from around the Diocese for a night
of fun and creativity. This program provides youth with an opportunity to meet other Episcopal young people and explore their spiritual side during Advent. The program
includes contemplative and creative worship, reflection, games, snacks, and more.
What’s a Nightwatch? Nightwatch is a Friday evening and overnight spiritual retreat for the youth of our diocese and their adult chaperones. Your group will have the opportunity to unplug from the distractions and stresses of daily life to connect with God and one another in our sacred space at the Cathedral.
Does it cost anything? $25 per person for a journal, snacks, breakfast and other associated costs. However, scholarships are available — to inquire about financial aid please contact Steven Lefebvre, [email protected]
About our Curator: Our sacred space will be curated by Lilly Lewin. Lilly is a worship
curator, atmosphere architect and an extroverted contemplative. She is the founder of Thinplace: a pilgrimage of discovery and creativity. Lilly helps
communities get outside the box of worship, beyond singing, through multi-sensory prayer,
experiential worship, and art. Lilly has helped to design and execute many of the sacred spaces at the National Youth
Worker Conventions and Emergent Village Gatherings. She is the author of Sacred Space: A Hands-On Guide to Creating Multi-sensory Worship
Experiences with Dan Kimball.
