CTL YOUTH HEADED TO THE BIG EASY
In July of 2012 dozens of CTL Youth will join together with more than 36,000 other Lutheran youth from around the country in New Orleans for the 2012 ELCA Youth Gathering. This event is held every three years with the vision for Lutheran youth to dwell together as “one new humanity,” remembering who they are in Christ and acting in response by forming faithful, wise and courageous leaders who will:
- Live among God’s faithful people,
- Hear the word of God and share in the Lord’s supper,
- Proclaim the good news of God in Christ through words and deed,
- Serve all people, following the example of Jesus,
- Strive for justice and peace in all the earth.
The 2012 ELCA Youth Gathering, a unique community by size and scope, serves as a distinctive sign of the ELCA’s evangelical mission as it works with synods and congregations to accompany young people in their faith journey to understand their vocation and articulate their faith in Jesus Christ. Participants will actively practice discipleship, peacemaking, and justice during their time together.
We encourage members of our congregation and community to learn more about this great event and help us support our youth as they work to raise the funds to attend this amazing event that allows them to live out their faith like never before. The cost for our youth to attend this event is estimated to be $25,000. As you can imagine, they have lots of exciting fundraising events planned in the months ahead, so be watching for more details. If you are interested in offering scholarship funds to help enable our youth to go, please place your gifts in the offering plate labeled “ELCA Youth Gathering Scholarship.”
