 Join us for
our Senior High Youth Gathering
February 20-22, 2009
This
year’s gathering theme is “Connected in Chaos”.
We will explore what it means to walk together with Jesus Christ in a world
that is often times chaotic.
Because
of a generous partnership with Thrivent Financial for Lutherans we have been
able to greatly reduce the cost this year! The cost of the gathering is $95 if you register on
or before January 14, 2009.

Connecting Through Confirmation
 Confirmation,
the time when a young person affirms his or her faith, can not only happen
in a classroom in your congregation. In order to fully understand
their calling as Christians, confirmands must get out into this world to be
the hands, feet, ears and hearts of Christ to others. Our synod’s youth
ministry and Liberty Lutheran Services, an umbrella Social Ministry
Organization on our territory, believe this so strongly that we have
partnered to create hands on learning opportunities for confirmation classes
to engage in social ministry.

ministry for confirmation classes!

December Youth of the Month
Jasmine Kent from Redemption Lutheran Church, Philadelphia
 Jasmine
is a 10th grader at Girl’s High. Besides playing field hockey
for her school, Jasmine is a gifted and creative youth woman, who uses her
gifts of trumpet and violin as a member of Redemption’s Jr. Praise Band.
She is also a part of The Networkers, a ministry that is focused on both
outreach and building up the Body of Christ within our congregation.
Jasmine has helped out with our NORC leaf-raking community service project,
where we do yard work for seniors in the Rhawnhurst area, and is involved in
both Sunday School and Sunday morning worship. Also, this summer Jasmine
worked with a group of youth to create and conduct a Youth Community Survey
in preparation for Turning Point, a joint outreach ministry to youth that is
being birthed out of Redemption and Rhawnhurst Presbyterian Church. Jasmine
attended her first FLY retreat in 2008 and is looking forward to the 2009
National Gathering in New Orleans.
