The 2008-2009 school year will be our fourth year using the Rite 13 program. Currently our Rite 13 class includes our 7th and 8th graders. The curriculum involves lessons centering around self, society, sexuality and spirituality. The premise of the Rite 13 curriculum is that manhood and womanhood are gifts from God but that adulthood is earned. Our goal is to provide for them a safe, caring community of support as we celebrate and participate in their journey.  The 2009 Rite 13 ceremony will take place on Sunday, April 26th.

Our St. Paul’s, Ivy Senior High students (SPISH) further their understanding of God and his teachings and their own role within the church with discussion, fun, fellowship and service.  The SPISH curriculum draws on Journey to Adulthood program resources as our teens meet for  a wide range of events.  For more information on our youth programs, please contact Associate Rector Will Peyton at willpeyton@gmail.com or the church office.
