Synod Youth Day

God’s love changes everything was today’s theme at the ELCA Youth Gathering. The 14 of us began our day attendimg, and helping to lead, the Synod Youth Day. Madison (13 years old) did a phenomenal job on stage leading the event! The rest of our group did a baptismal blessing making the sign of the cross, with water, on people’s foreheads telling each person “God is watching over you. You belong.” Reis said it was so joyful doing this.

The kids wrote 60 postcards thanking their stockholders. We went over to the interaction center and hung out followed by attending the mass gathering. Rain fell as waited outside to go in the arena in the 100 degree heat but it didn’t stop them from talking to people in line and having fun. Another amazing day living in God’s love together.
