Immanuel’s youth are excited to be able to attend the ELCA National Youth Gathering (NYG) in Houston, Texas this coming June 27 – July 1.
The National Youth Gathering theme this year is “This Changes Everything”. The primary scripture is Ephesians 2:8, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.” The NYG includes days spent in interactive learning, worship, Bible study, service and fellowship. Young people and adults will pray and grow in faith, while being challenged and inspired to live out faith in daily life.
Our NYG Team includes: Jonas Hicks, Meg Morgan, Salvidor Ramos, Molly Hackbarth, Isaac Attig, Ben Roth, Kathryn Rowzee, Natalie Ramos, Stacey Hackbarth, Matthew Hicks, Jennifer Morgan and Monique Castillo. Salvidor, Natalie and Monique will participate in the Multicultural Youth Leadership Event (MYLE) which is a pre-event to the Gathering. The MYLE empowers young people of color and those whose primary language is other than English to claim their story as a part of God’s story. Please pray for our team as they prepare to journey in faith to the MYLE and National Youth Gathering! You are also invited to consider supporting us financially.
If it is in your heart to sponsor any of us financially, you may write a check to Immanuel LYO and put in the office or give to Stacey Hackbarth. Any amount donated will be greatly appreciated. There will be a poster on the bulletin board in the narthex sharing details. Thank you so much!
Thank you for supporting the Palm Sunday Breakfast fundraiser! Your donations are making the NYG possible for our young people!
