Next summer, students who are currently in 8th-12th grade will have the amazing opportunity to attend the ELCA National Youth Gathering in New Orleans, Louisiana, where we’ll be joined by 30,000 Lutheran friends from across the United States.
The gathering takes place July 15-20, 2024. Throughout the week, we will be immersed in the experience by staying in hotels in downtown New Orleans—within walking distance of all the main venues and events.
While there we will serve alongside our ELCA peers on Accompaniment Day, explore New Orleans and worship with others from the Minneapolis Area Synod on Synod Day, and have an Interactive Learning Day hosted at the New Orleans Convention Center. Each day will be capped off with an energizing worship experience inside the Caesars Superdome.
