Chicago Mission Trip June 29-July 4

rather gather with a group of friends exploring the world as a Christian
servant? Join us for a week in the windy city. Cost is approximately $225. We will be doing a variety of service projects and a
VBS-type program. This event is open to youth completing grades 9-12 this

ELCA National Youth Gathering, New Orleans Summer 2009
Every three years, the tens of thousands of Lutheran high schoolers from
the USA and the world gather in a southern US city for a week of awesome
worship and learning. Along with the ELCA gathering, our synod also
coordinates a service event for three days prior somewhere along the way.
This is an event that you will remember for the rest of your life. Sign up
now to join in on the fundraising that has already started.
Praise the Lord! I will give thanks to the Lord
with my whole heart... His praise endures forever.
~Psalm 11:1a & 10b~
