B-SAFE 2009:  It’s a Wrap!

 

 

 

After five weeks in the city serving more than 550 children and teens, the B-SAFE summer program wrapped up with a five-day overnight at the Barbara C. Harris Camp & Conference Center.  As many of you know, the Redeemer supports St. Stephen’s, our partner church in the South End/Villa Victoria neighborhood, and their youth programs in many ways.  This spring and summer, we helped make their diocesan-wide B-SAFE summer program possible through a Church Service League outreach grant, the gift of our Easter offering, and putting together a team of volunteers to prepare and serve three days of lunches to the 150 B-SAFE staff during their training week in June.  Individual teens also volunteered for 1-2 weeks at a time in the program. 

 

Check out the short and wonderful video clip from the Bishop’s recent visit to the B-SAFE sites at http://www.kathywittman.com/video/bsafe_shaw.html  and read all about the wonderful things that happened this summer on the B-SAFE ’09 blog at www.ssypbsafe@wordpress.com.  Thanks to all at the Redeemer who did so much to make B-SAFE possible!
