From the Superdome
Over 37,000 young Lutheran youth and adults are in attendance at the 2009 ELCA Youth Gathering in New Orleans.
What it's all about...
In 2009, youth of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America have the opportunity to enter into the stories of God's activity in New Orleans, and recognize themselves as participants in God's story. Youth will have the opportunity to be public witnesses of their faith by learning about and practicing compassionate justice. Compassionate justice includes studying scripture, praying, knowing the world around us, actively helping, and truly caring about others.
As with each Gathering, the most important part of the experience is the blessing and sending that happens at the end. While the goal of our presence and service in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast is to be part of the ongoing recovery of the community and people's lives, what happens in New Orleans will not stay in New Orleans—we are sent home and into the world jazzed for justice, for kindness, and for humble walking with God.
By exploring God's Word together and serving in New Orleans, young people will mature in faith, grow more confident in their witness of the gospel, and find themselves part of God's unfolding story. They will make it their own story wherever they are and throughout their lives.
It's all about serving like Jesus...
All participants will be invited to enter New Orleans and grow into "…the measure of the stature of Christ…" (Ephesians 4:13) by experiencing this journey in one of six interest areas. The interest areas represent major themes or aspects of a community's life! The six interest areas are:
The Arts & Culture
Health & Wellness
Wealth & Poverty
Literacy
Housing
Environment
