This summer, youth members and adult leaders from Messiah Lutheran Church attended the National Youth Gathering in New Orleans from 22-26 July.
The ELCA Youth Gathering is a national convention held every three years in a different American city attended by high-school-age youth of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. The gathering is usually held in July. About 37,000 youth attended the most recent 2009 gathering.
All 37,000 Lutheran teenagers, adult leaders and other volunteers had completed at least one day of service in as many as 200 community projects when they gathered July 25 in the Louisiana Superdome.
Here are a few pictures from this years event.
