Greetings from Westminster College in New Wilmington, PA. I am excited to share with you a new partnership opportunity between Westminster College and Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. This coming summer we will be the host site for Summer Youth Institute North. This program will be part of The Rev. Dr. Roy F. Miller, Ph.D., and Mrs. Florence Lantz Miller Summer Youth Institute at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary that has been part of PTS since 1997.SYI North at Westminster College will provide an opportunity for individuals and youth groups to experience ministry, mission, and study on our campus. Each day there will be time set aside for study. Each participant will be enrolled in a 1-hour college credit course – Introduction to Christianity. The class will be taught by Dr. Lisa Hickman, one of our adjunct religion professors. The day will include time spent working at various mission sites such as Habitat for Humanity, Our Hands Ministry, The Mission Barn (which builds handicapped ramps), Don Services (building a shed for a family in New Castle, PA), learning about environmental issues at the college Field Station, and learning about the Amish community. Evenings will be spent enjoying some recreation and relaxation in the area. This experience is designed to take the best of a typical work trip experience and education.
We feel this will be a wonderful time for faith development, individual growth and group development. Please share this information with churches and youth leaders that you think would be interested in a program like SYI North at Westminster. If you would like printed materials, please contact me at the email or phone number listed below. Space is limited and the deadline to register for this year’s program is May 15, 2020.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Peace Like A River,
Rev. James R. Mohr II
Westminster College
Chaplain and Director of Church Relations
