ELCA National Youth Gathering- July 2009
Next summer we are taking a group of youth to the national youth gathering in New Orleans, LA. Youth entering grades 9-12 in September 2009 are welcome to sign up and we’re looking at a cost of about $600-$700. These gatherings are unlike any other experience during which we join thousands of Lutherans from all over the country for worship, fellowship, and service. This year’s theme is “Jesus, Justice, Jazz” which I’m sure means we’ll be taking in plenty of New Orleans culture along with service projects focusing on the tragedies surrounding Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. It’s a guaranteed fantastic time! To check out the gathering for yourself, go to www.elca.org/gathering.
Because the registration deadline is in September, you need to get signed up to go by September 1st with a deposit of $125. To find out more about our trip, come to the informational meetings scheduled for SUNDAY, JULY 27 at 10:00 AM or THURSDAY, AUGUST 21 at 6:00 PM.
Enjoying being with you on this trip in spirit- we keep saying ” now they are …” Well, now you are sleeping but soon you will be waiking up for your first day at Ihemi, what a blessing that will be to them and to you.
don’t forget to pinch yourself!
