For youth in grades 6th, 7th, & 8th. This is a small group centered event, where middle school youth will be grouped with other youth of the same age/grade.

In addition to the small groups, large group gatherings will introduce the theme progression through worship and music, games will help form this weekend’s community, and service projects will invite youth to apply what they’re learning to hands-on service. There are also workshops for adult participants.

Who...

is God

is Jesus

is the Holy Spirit

am I

are we


Who am I? Coming to know more about ourselves—uncovering and growing into the fullness of our evolving identity—continues throughout our lives.

But it’s not something we can ask, or begin to answer, on our own. Who we are is inextricably linked to who God is—the God who has created us, claimed us, and called us by name. The God who loves us in and through Jesus Christ. The God who gathers us into community through the Holy Spirit.

We’ll spend our weekend together in community exploring the identity of God, and the way in which God shapes who we are as individuals and as a community of disciples.

SERVICE PROJECT INFORMATION


As part of our commitment to serve our communities, local and global, we are assembling Lutheran World Relief Personal Care Kits at our youth events this year. To help us collect all the necessary items for these kits, which are distributed among those in need, including the victims of natural disasters, we are asking each congregation to donate supplies to our effort. Many churches host a donation drive for their assigned item (found in the list below), placing a labeled box in a common area of the building and inviting everyone in the congregation to participate. This is a great way to lift up the important role young people play in the life of the greater church! Placing a short blurb in your bulletin or newsletter and announcing the drive during worship goes a long way to ensuring we can assemble the largest number of kits.

  • Church names beginning with A-G – 4-5oz bars of soap (need to be individually packaged)

  • Church names beginning with H-S (not including Saints) – sturdy combs

  • Saints – adult-sized toothbrushes (individually packaged)

  • Church names beginning with T-Z – metal nail clippers (w/ or w/o attached file)

  • In addition, we are asking that EACH PARTICIPANT bring at least one new lightweight bath-size towel, preferably in a dark color, not too thick or oversized.


When you arrive at FreeRide on Friday night, you will be able to drop off your collected supplies in the same place you check in. Thank you so much for supporting our commitment to service at youth events!
