EYE17 Opens July 10

The 2017 Episcopal Youth Event (EYE17) will welcome more than 1,300 participants, workshop leaders, speakers, and volunteers to the campus of the University of Central Oklahoma in Edmond on July 10-14. EYE17 is for youth in grades 9-12 during the 2016-17 academic year and their adult leaders.

The gathering will offer a stream via Facebook Live and through other social media:

The theme of EYE17, “Path to Peace,” is grounded in the Beatitudes (Matthew 5) and is a call for participants to focus on peacemaking. EYE17 participants will gather for a candlelight vigil at the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum at 8:30 p.m. July 12.
