On June 27th Kayla Brightwell and her chaperone, Mary Bryner, will be joining thousands of youth and adults at the 2018 ELCA Youth Gathering. The theme for this year is “This Changes Everything” and will be held in Houston, Texas from June 27-July 1.
As the director, Molly Beck Deen describes it” “The Gathering is a faith formation experience like none other that has become a milestone in the lives of many Lutheran high schoolers. The Gathering enriches congregational ministry through providing experiences that will challenge and strengthen faith and give participants a wide view of their church.”
The Christian Education committee is accepting donations to defray the cost of the trip for the participants. Money from the Garrison Day sale provided the funds for the registration, and now we welcome donations to defray the cost of the airline tickets, hotel, offerings, and meals. To that end, also look for a yard sale in the spring to assist in this project. Thank you for all your efforts on behalf of this worthy cause.
Please mark you donation YOUTH GATHERING and place in the offering plate.
