Announcing the 2012 Connections
Mission Trip to New Orleans










Next summer's trip for high school youth will be to the 2012 ELCA Youth Gathering in New Orleans from
Tuesday, July 17th until Monday, July 23rd!   


The Gathering's theme for 2012 is Citizens with the Saints, with a focus on Ephesians 2:14 - 20.  Youth and adults who participate will again be immersed in worship, music, Bible study, service, learning, play, prayer, the witness of faithful leaders from around the world, reflection, caring for others, and new friendships during this experience.  We look forward to joining with 37,000+ other Lutheran youth for this much-anticipated triennial event, and we hope you'll consider joining us! 
 
Required forms for the 2012 ELCA Youth Gathering
Forms need to be returned no later than Sunday, June 10th!




Remembering the 2011 "Connections"
Mission Trip
to West Virginia!

Connections headed east this year, July 16 - 22, to serve communities in the rolling Appalachian hills of Raleigh County, West Virginia

Through the guidance of the ecumenical missions organization YouthWorks, our group brought the light and love of Christ to Raleigh County residents primarily by serving local children through a "Kids Club" and completing home improvement projects.
 

Remembering the Saint Paul
2010 Summer Mission Trip
The Black Hills of South Dakota
July 23 through 31, twenty two St. Paul youth and four adults  journeyed to Atlantic Mountain Ranch, a Lutheran camp in the Black Hills of South Dakota, to participate in a Servant Camp experience. We are so grateful for these young followers of Jesus who are helping to build homes for families in need.
