Apple Pie Sale & ELCA Youth Gathering

This Sunday, pick up your apple pies between 8:30 and 10:30 services. If you didn't get your hands on a pre-order form, don't you worry! We are making plenty. They go for $10, and all the money raised will fund getting our youth to the annual Youth Gathering, which is in Detroit. 

I am very excited to go to the Youth Gathering next July- it will be my first time! Until I started becoming involved with youth gatherings, retreats, and events of that nature, I had no idea what this annual Youth Gathering looked like or was even about. I remember when I was in high school, spending summers at LCLC, and noticing other kids wearing "ELCA Youth Gathering" t-shirts. When I would ask what their shirts stood for, I always got something to the effect of "you had to be there" or "you wouldn't understand". After viewing this video, I'm realizing maybe those kids weren't just trying to sound cool and exclusive. This is an amazing example of the power and beauty in faith and action.
