The 2009 ELCA Youth Gathering
New Orleans, Louisiana
July 22-26, 2009

Jesus Justice Jazz, the theme for the 2009 ELCA Youth Gathering, draws from the rich faith history, diverse cultures, and arts of New Orleans. It will stretch our understanding of what it means to live in relationship and service with each other in the manner of Christ... for life... wherever we are!

The Gathering program will be different than Gatherings before. Planning teams are working with local congregations and organizations, young people, and the city to pay attention to what makes the city of New Orleans unique, as well as better understanding the changes it is going through as the entire Gulf Coast region continues to recover after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The focus will be on service and justice as we live our shared reality as Christians: Marked with the cross of Christ forever, we are claimed, gathered, and sent for the sake of the world. 

 

What remains the same about the Gathering is that youth and adults are immersed in worship, music, Bible study, service, learning, play, prayer, the witness of faithful leaders from around the world, reflection, caring for others, and new friendships. The Gathering is a time of change and growth because we gather in the presence of God’s Spirit with others who journey with Jesus.

 

If you interested in going to New Orleans and you will be in 9^th – 12^th grades during the 2009-2010 school year, please contact the church office at 682-2376.  If you are an adult and would like to go to New Orleans, please contact the church office at 682-2376.

Cans for Saron

A pop/juice/water machine is in the fellowship hall!  The aluminum from the pop cans can be turned in for cash for Saron.  There is a container for clean & empty cans next to the pop machine. 

Everyone is encouraged to bring your aluminum cans to Chicago Iron and tell them to put it on the account for Saron Lutheran Church.  If you don’t want to bring them to Chicago Iron then bring them to church.  The 1^st Sunday of every month will be “bring your cans to church”. If you need cans picked up at your house please call the church office and we will make arrangements.  It takes only 32 cans to make a pound!

So far we have collected $510.00 from cans donated to the church.  If you have aluminum cans at your house but don’t want to haul them to church, just call the church office 682-2376 and we will have someone pick them up for you.

 

Faith Lens 

Faith Lens is a free online weekly Bible study for youth.  It is posted every week and connects a current new story with the Bible readings for the upcoming Sunday.  It is written by a different writer every week and is usually posted by Tuesday.  Check it out!  http://www.elca.org/faithlens/

WE NEED YOU...!
