"It was amazing!" I think I heard that line at least 3 times on Sunday morning from youth that
Our time in Houston was spent in a day of service and learning about the ongoing effects of Hurricane Harvey on a local neighborhood, a day or worship and Bible study with Bishop Jaech and the congregations from the Southwestern Washington synod and a day in the Interactive Center, which included learning about Lutheran colleges and participating in the ELCA World Hunger Global Farm Challenge. We also got to explore the city and traveled to Galveston as well. Each evening the mass gathering brought together inspiring speakers, musicians, dancers, rappers, poets and more, all with messages with the central theme based on Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God."
A few fun stories from Messiah's group:
I believe the Gathering was a time when all of us were inspired to live out God's love for the world. The youth are so excited to share more of their thoughts and experiences with the Messiah congregation during all of the Hazel Dell worship services on Saturday and Sunday, August 4 – 5. I hope that you will be able to attend.
