Jesus
 Justice
Jazz
JESUS JUSTICE JAZZ is the theme for the 2009 ELCA Youth Gathering,
to be held July 22-26, 2009, in New Orleans.
This theme draws from the rich faith history, diverse cultures, and arts
of New Orleans. The focus will be on service and justice: Exploring what
makes the city of New Orleans unique and seeking to understand the changes
it is going through as the entire Gulf Coast region continues to recover
from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Youth and adults will be immersed in worship, music, Bible study, service,
learning, play, prayer, the witness of faithful leaders from around the
world, reflection, caring for others, and new friendships.
The 2009 ELCA Youth Gathering registration brochure has been mailed to
every ELCA congregation. PDF versions (color or black and white) are
available on the
Gathering website. Registration opens September 15, 2008; it will be
done through an
online process.
Be sure to visit the
Gathering website often and explore the links to see what new
information is posted or changing.
