The ELCA made this decision after much prayer and consideration. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose a health risk for large gatherings of people and has hindered congregations ability to raise money to participate in the NYG. The 2022 ELCA NYG will be held July 24-28, 2022, in Minneapolis, with the two pre-events, the Multicultural Youth Leadership Event (MYLE) and the tAble, scheduled for July 21-24, 2022. The ELCA Gathering leadership team gives thanks for your prayers and patience as they have worked through the details with our partners in Minneapolis and across the country. God’s love for you is boundless!
