Please Support Youth National Gathering

ELCA National Youth Convention-Bound Youth Seek Prayers, Support

NATIONAL YOUTH GATHERING SPONSORSHIP/PARTNERSHIP

In July 2012, 11 youth and 2 adults will be joining another 39,000 youth at the ELCA National Youth Gathering. Each youth is responsible for approximately $600 to participate in this life-changing experience. The whole St. John’s community is invited to come alongside them and participate in this experience too! A sponsorship provides a youth with at least $50 towards the cost AND a personal prayer partner. This is a one-on-one, personal connection between a St. John’s member and a youth that will strengthen both people in faith and community. A partnership provides the entire group with a donation towards the cost and continued prayer for the group as they prepare. This is an invitation to join the youth as they discover more about God and what God’s up to in the world. Contact the office or Becca Poock beccapoock@gmail.com to join them either as a sponsor or partner as they prepare for New Orleans!

ELCA NATIONAL YOUTH GATHERING – NEW ORLEANS 2012

St. John’s is sending eight high school youth and two adults to the youth gathering in New Orleans next summer! (There are still a couple of spots if you are still considering. Please contact Becca Poock (beccapoock@gmail.com for more information.)

As delegates from Evansville, they will grow in faith and experience God in ways never imagined! There will be many opportunities St. John’s can participate and support the group as they prepare to go. Please keep them in your prayers and consider how you might support these young members of our faith community: Sarah Deininger, Alexandra Gober, Nicholas Lehman, Joshua Michel, Larissa Olin, Taylor Puckett, Gabrielle Sunness, Zachery Wells, Angie Olin (adult), and Pastor Matthew Poock (adult).
