LYO Challenge Goal

This spring the Lutheran Youth Organization Board went on retreat to further vision and plan for youth ministry in our synod.  One of the things that came out of that retreat was a Challenge Goal for youth and congregations in our conferences.

The goal focuses on what the Board identified as a top priority and reason for youth ministry – community outreach.  The Board set a goal and is challenging congregations in each conference to get involved.  The goal is this – that this fall each conference will reach out by having an in-kind offering for a charity, ministry or organization on their territory.

Further details will be sent to congregational contacts on September  2nd so be looking out for information about what organization your conference is supporting and details about collection.

Each conference will be hosting a “Big Give Party” sometime in November or December for congregations to bring all their items to a central location, meet other youth from their conference, hear from a representative from the organization they have collected items for and celebrate the goodness of God!

Plan to be involved in this challenge and stay tuned for more information!
