ELCA NATIONAL YOUTH GATHERING - 2018In the summer of 2016, a team of youth and adult leaders traveled to West Virginia to work with Appalachian Service Project, repairing homes in this hard-hit area. We met regularly to prepare and learn home repair skills and put them to good use on our trip.
Our Youth are blogging about this summer's ELCA National Youth Gathering in Houston!
Peace youth will join thousands of Lutheran youth from across the country at the ELCA National Youth Gathering from June 27 through July 1. Thanks to this blog, you can follow along as they prepare for and experience five days of service, worship, laughter, introspection and Christian fellowship. They will post occasionally prior to the Gathering and at least daily while they are there. Click here to go to the blog. Summer 2017 Youth Mission Trip
The 2017 Youth Mission Trip to DC gave our youth time to explore/learn/process/question/strategize/think more about institutional racism and poverty in our society. It was thought-provoking and deeply moving experience.
Gathering and sending are related to one another like breathing in and breathing out. The important thing is therefore to view life in the everyday world as just as important as the gathering of the congregation in the feast of worship. ~Jürgen Moltmann SUMMER 2016 Youth Service trip
