Jesus,
Justice and Jazz: It's
that time again! in July of 2009, the Senior High Youth
will be traveling to New Orleans for the triennial Youth
Gathering. Based on Philippians 2:1-8,
the 2009 ELCA Youth Gathering will look and feel more
like a servant school than a Lutheran youth revival.
At the center
of this Gathering's program will be a deepening of our
awareness of God’s call to servanthood, and a deepening
of the basic Christian practices by which we live out
our baptismal calling to servanthood throughout our life.
Programming
for the Gathering will follow a solid service learning
model, including intentional preparation, action,
reflection, and celebration.
Registration
opens online September 15, 2008 at 12:01am, so if
you are interested in going with the Joy Lutheran
Youth, contact us ASAP!

Confirmation
for 7th and 8th grades meets Wednesdays at 7PM.
This year,
we are using the Here We Stand Confirmation curriculum
from Augsburg Fortress. We are studying The Old Testament
and Lutheran Theology on Wednesday evenings and the New
Testament during the 7th and 8th grade Sunday School Class.
During
Advent, the confirmands each undertake a creative project
of their choice. This past year, their focus was Baptism.

example project (images may not be displayed).
During
Lent, the confirmands go on a 2-day retreat for study
and fellowship time. The past two years, we have been
blessed to hold the retreat at Skelly
Lodge.
