A big thank you to everyone at Transfiguration Episcopal Church in Lake St. Louis who provided a great birthday party for the kids at the St. Louis County Detention Center! Birthday parties help create lasting, positive memories for the kids and remind them that they are NOT forgotten.

Last week, the ECM board had the opportunity to tour the St. Louis City Juvenile Detention Center to learn more about what life is like for the kids there, what their challenges are, and how we can help them. Highlighted here, board members got to see the center's skill building room, library, and hair salon, where Bishop Johnson demonstrated his skills as a barber!

We are thrilled to announce the celebration of 70 incredible years of Episcopal City Mission serving youth in juvenile detention at our October 17 Moment in Time Gala! This milestone is not just a testament to the resilience and strength of our community, but also to the countless lives touched and transformed over the decades.

Join us for an unforgettable evening filled with inspiring stories, heartwarming moments, and a celebration of the impact we’ve made together. Let’s honor the past, celebrate the present, and look forward to a brighter future for all the youth we serve.

Congratulations to ECM board member and volunteer Dr. Pam Stanfield on her recent award for distinguished service in the St. Louis County Juvenile Detention Center. Pam received the Donald F. Roth Outstanding Service Award in recognition of her years of dedication and service to the children in the detention center.

For 9 years, Pam has volunteered in the detention center, where she visits the children every Sunday and on holidays. Pam serves the children by listening to them talk about their struggles and offering stories to inspire and motivate them. Pam regularly attends special programs and events for the youth and has served on Family Court committees focused on serving youth who are involved with the juvenile justice system.

They currently worship at the Episcopal Church of Holy Communion where they volunteer with the Godly Play program. In their spare time, Percy enjoys reading, jigsaw puzzles, and visiting the STL Zoo. They are excited to be a part of ECM's work and look forward to supporting its programs and events.

Last month, we asked the kids to design logos for the topic "Put the Gunz Down." At the county detention center, the kids explored ways to find alternatives to violence when faced with problems.

After 6 years of working with the amazing staff and volunteers at Episcopal City Mission, and 32 years as an administrative Lay Professional in the Episcopal Diocese of Missouri, I’m officially “retired!” It’s bittersweet. I have a long list of things I’m excited to do (new and old) AND I’m going to miss supporting and empowering ministry and the wonderful people I’ve been so privileged to work with. It’s been a lifelong journey, for which I am so very grateful. I’m looking forward to what crazy adventures God has in store for me next!
