High School Youth Group tomorrow! 6:30pm Youth Center

Hey everyone!

 This is just a friendly reminder that we are having Senior LYO youth group tomorrow night, March 15th! We are meeting at 6:30 at the Trinity Youth Center for a fun night of pizza, games and discussion. What are we going to be doing?
Glad you asked! We are going to play the styrofoam cup challenge.
Don't know what that is? Then come to LYO tomorrow night!
Our topic of discussion will be: why does God let pain and evil exist in the world?
I hope that all high schoolers can make it. Let me know if you have any questions!

ELCA National Youth Gathering Sign Up Deadline 3/15

Hey Everyone!

I hope that everyone is surviving this really cold winter. Even though the weather is still quite chilly, the summer is coming up sooner then it would seem. With that, I wanted to let everyone know that the deadline to sign up for the National Youth Gathering is March 15! After that, the Gathering will lock the registration and I won't be able to get anyone else in. We still have more spots for the trip, so please contact me ASAP if you are interested in this trip (especially guys). It is really going to be an awesome experience and it only happens once every three years, so this might be the only time you can check it out. We already have 10 students and 4 leaders planning to go, so you won't be alone!

The Gathering is a five-day event that begins on a Wednesday evening and ends with a service of communion the following Sunday morning. The opening night sets the stage for the days ahead in which young people may have an encounter with Jesus that energizes their faith and helps them discover their call to serve in the world - locally and globally. The Gathering will be held July 15-19, 2015, in Detroit, Mich. 

 As far as cost goes, I am charging everyone who is going $390 for everything on this trip (except spending money). The gathering estimated the cost per person at around $700, but I am planning some fundraisers to keep the cost lower. This trip is open to all current 8th-12th graders as well. 

 
If you have any questions about this trip or even what it is, please feel free to contact me. Thanks for your time.

For the rest of the Gathering planning team,
