Through this experience\, the Happening encourages participation in one’s own parish and youth group. Is Christianity relevant to youth today? Can it penetrate the many areas of school life? Can it transform the world and keep up with changing times? The Happening movement thinks so. It does not propose a new type of spirituality but provides a method through which one’s spirituality may be developed\, nourished\, lived\, and shared in fellowship with Christians willing to dedicate their lives to God in an ongoing manner. The Happening movement believes that Jesus Christ has and will continue to make a difference in the world and in individual lives. Those attending Happening listen to thought-provoking and challenging talks given by members of the staff and clergy. These talks are designed to help the Happeners get to know God. After each talk\, the opportunity is given for questions and discussion in small groups. \nInstrument of Renewal\nThe Happening Movement is a powerful instrument of renewal in the Church. Its purpose is to concentrate closely on the person and teaching of Jesus Christ. Our faith is seriously examined in a relaxed\, fun\, informal\, and loving atmosphere. The Happening weekend is an experience that gives those who attend the desire to understand and serve God through his Church. \nFor questions regarding Happening\, contact:\nhappening@epicenter.org URL:https://www.epicenter.org/event/happening-187/ LOCATION:Camp Allen\, 18800 FM 362\, Navasota\, 77868 CATEGORIES:General Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20251121T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20251123T000000 DTSTAMP:20260616T184413 CREATED:20251219T135658Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260616T121056Z UID:10001965-1763683200-1763856000@www.epicenter.org SUMMARY:Happening #186 DESCRIPTION:The Happening Experience\nA Happening is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Through this experience\, the Happening encourages participation in one’s own parish and youth group. Is Christianity relevant to youth today? Can it penetrate the many areas of school life? Can it transform the world and keep up with changing times? The Happening movement thinks so. It does not propose a new type of spirituality but provides a method through which one’s spirituality may be developed\, nourished\, lived\, and shared in fellowship with Christians willing to dedicate their lives to God in an ongoing manner. The Happening movement believes that Jesus Christ has and will continue to make a difference in the world and in individual lives. Those attending Happening listen to thought-provoking and challenging talks given by members of the staff and clergy. These talks are designed to help the Happeners get to know God. After each talk\, the opportunity is given for questions and discussion in small groups. \nInstrument of Renewal\nThe Happening Movement is a powerful instrument of renewal in the Church. Its purpose is to concentrate closely on the person and teaching of Jesus Christ. Our faith is seriously examined in a relaxed\, fun\, informal\, and loving atmosphere. The Happening weekend is an experience that gives those who attend the desire to understand and serve God through his Church. \nParticipant Registration\nhttps://EDOTformation.formstack.com/forms/happening_180_registration \nStaff Application\nhttps://EDOTformation.formstack.com/forms/happening_180_staff_application \nSenior Leadership for Happening #181 Sept. 27-29\, 2024\nhttps://EDOTformation.formstack.com/forms/happening_181_sr_leader \n Steering Committee\nHappening utilizes a wonderful group of volunteers that comprise the steering committee.
