The Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta has created Keep/Watch: Suicide, Christ, and Community. This is a resource to equip people and congregations to practice community-based suicide prevention. This workbook is for anyone who wants to help keep their community safe from suicide. It’s theologically and experientially grounded and informed by peer-reviewed research and evidence-based outcomes. 

Keep/Watch is now available for purchase on our diocesan website! Bulk orders with wholesale discounts can be made through the publisher. 

High school graduates and their loved ones are invited to join Bishop Wright and EYCDIOATL to celebrate their accomplishment! Join us at the Cathedral of St. Philip for service and reception that will allow us to send off our seniors with a blessing. Please RSVP here before Wednesday, May 17 to attend!

From Cradle to College: Making An Age/Stage Ministry Pipeline / RSVP to attend in-person or online. For all staff and volunteers working in youth ministry. 

Our Diocesan Youth Commission is a leadership body composed of clergy, lay leaders, and students. DYC members meet throughout the school year to shape the vision and practice of EYCDIOATL. This program is an excellent opportunity for students (grades 9-12) to develop their leadership skills as they prepare for college or a career.
 
Applications for DYC 23-24 are open now! Submit yours before July 17.

We’re mixing things up! On Saturday, August 12 we’ll travel down to Macon to float the Ocmulgee River. (Don’t worry, Helen River fans — we’re taking turns between North and Middle Georgia and will be back next year.) Our lunch and Eucharist will be hosted by St. Francis Episcopal Church in Macon. Youth and chaperones of all ages are invited — staff and students can sign up here.

  • Cost is $50/person for a tube rental + bus pass bundle (includes a seat on the charter bus), or $15/person for just the tube rental (for those carpooling or driving). Lunch and dinner will be provided by The Diocese.
  • If you are sending more than 2-3 students from your parish, please make sure you send a chaperone (or two, if you’re riding with students).   

Team preparation for Happening 78 (October 20-22). High school students who have already attended a Happening can apply for Team here before August 2.
