SUMMER 2016 Youth Service trip

In 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. They met regularly to prepare and learn home repair skills and put them to good use on their trip.

In 2012 Peace Lutheran Church (12 youth and 3 adults) attended the ELCA National Youth Gathering for the first time. It was an amazing experience in New Orleans, La.   In July of 2015, 17 youth and 4 adults attended the ELCA National Youth Gathering in Detroit, MI where we experienced God each day via Proclaim story day, Proclaim community day and Proclaim justice day culminating each evening by worshiping God in Ford Field with 30,000 youth from around the nation!

If you would like to see more on both of our trips you can find it here on our blog:  plcyouthcville.blogspot.com 

We are looking forward to the 2018 ELCA National Youth Gathering in Houston, TX June 27-July 1, 2018. Excitement and fundraising has begun!
