Youth News

NOW God Sundays – The youth meet via Zoom each Sunday evening and focus on bible study and four different themes that rotate throughout the month. Themes include Serve, Worship, Learn and Play.

NOW God does not meet during Christmas Holidays, Lent, and the summer.

Play (games, fun and adventure either at the church or off-site such as indoor rock climbing)

Serve (service projects at the church or in the community such as college student care packages and church property maintenance)

Worship – (using modern worship and a forum for discussion)

Learn (guest speakers talking of issues affecting our youth)

2021 Youth Gathering Postponed to 2022 – Every three years the ELCA senior high youth come together in the summer for an epic, life-changing Youth Gathering. This event is about faith formation, community service and awareness and building relationships with 30,000 young Lutherans from the US around the world. In a five day period, the youth and adult leaders explore and serve the community, grow in God’s word with the youth of the Florida-Bahamas synod, play games, meet with organizations doing God’s work in the world, experience the culture of the host city, and gather with all participants for worship, music, speakers, and much more. The 2022 Gathering “Boundless; God Beyond Measure” will take place in Minneapolis in July. For more information visit the website.

Christian Education – During high school Sunday School classes, we explore what Scripture has to say in today’s world coupled with discussion of current events and culture. Classes focus on subjects youth are often coping with but also issues that may also enhance their faith.”
