It is time for another ELCA
National Youth Gathering! The Youth Gathering,
which occurs once every three years, will be held
July 18-22 (2012)
in New Orleans. The theme for this year’s
Gathering is “Citizens with the Saints.”
If you are a youth who is eligible
to attend the Gathering … you don’t
want to miss it! Our youth group will be attending
this awesome event in order to grow in our faith
and be the “hands of God” in New Orleans.
More information and registration information
will be mailed to all eligible youth at the beginning
of September.
If you plan to attend this event,
your registration form and a check for $150 (to
cover the deposit) must be turned in to the church
office by Sunday, October 2.
There will be a manila envelope on the church
secretary’s desk, labeled “GATHERING
REGISTRATIONS.” Please put your registration
form and check in the envelope. There will also
be a meeting on Sunday, October 2 (time yet to
be arranged), for all youth who plan to attend
and their parents.
To learn more about the Gathering,
you can visit the Gathering’s Facebook page
“ELCA National Youth Gathering.” You
