This year's theme is:
CALLED IN OUR WANDERING
Sometimes we feel like we're wandering in the wilderness without answers or direction. But our faith stories remind us that even as we wander, God keeps calling to us- to remind us we are loved, to point our way ahead and to remind us that we don't walk this journey alone.

In addition to the small groups, large group gatherings will introduce the theme progression through worship and music; games will help form the 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.

SERVICE PROJECT INFORMATION
As part of our commitment to serve our communities, local and global, we are assembling Lutheran World Relief School 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, 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.
Please sign up here to sign up for the materials that your congregation will be bringing with you so that we can be well prepared for the packing!
When you arrive at the event 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!
