I wasn't at the meeting... what did I miss?
We passed out registration forms and talked about the amazing the Youth Gathering experience! Youth Gathering is an amazing Christ centered conference with 36,000 ELCA youth! The next one is gearing up to be a life changing experience for many. This Youth gathering is unlike any of any of the others. New Orleans is a very unique place with a unique spirit. Next summer's Youth Gathering will focus on service and justice as we live our shared reality as Christians.
Where are the forms I need to fill out?
This is the registration form that needs to be turned in by Sept 8.
What will be the total cost of the trip?
The first payment of $295 is due on Sept. 8 with the registration form. The cost will include the expenses of the travel, hotel, and food. This cost of the trip will be subsidized by fundraising efforts of the youth. This trip, although rather costly, is a life changing experience in an amazing city were we will be active in the rebuilding and healing efforts!
Who can go?
Anyone going into 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th in 2009 as well as those who will be graduating high school in the spring of 2009. Adults interested in going as guides must inquire with Zac or Pastor Meredith by Sept. 8.
What will be happening at the Youth Gathering
Jesus Justice Jazz, the theme for the 2009 ELCA Youth Gathering, draws from the rich faith history, diverse cultures, and arts of New Orleans. It will stretch our understanding of what it means to live in relationship and service with each other in the manner of Christ... for life... wherever we are!
