Hello from New Orleans!
This week I am attending the ELCA Youth Ministry Extravaganza, a continuing education conference specifically for those who work with young people in our denomination.
During the conference, I’ll be hearing from excellent and insightful speakers during our general sessions, and I will also be attending various workshops.
One main focus while I’m here is learning more about the ELCA National Youth Gathering, which will be hosted here just six months from now. It has been great to explore the city, scout out important locations, and hear the experiences of those who have done this many times before. I am so grateful for this incredible learning opportunity and look forward to sharing more about it with you all when I return!
Grace and Peace,
Joe
