Special NOW District event: On Monday, July 21, from 6 – 8:30 p.m., all congregations from the Northwest District attending the Gathering are invited to an event at the local aquarium. Participants will enjoy dinner, a scavenger hunt, and time to explore the aquarium. HOW TO REGISTER: Each Youth Leader should register themselves as the main attendee at this link here. After clicking “next,” you can indicate how many youth will be attending and order shirt sizes as needed. Please be sure to add one shirt for each youth you will be bringing; this will allow you to pay their event fee.

About the Gathering: Held every 3 years since 1980, the LCMS Youth Gathering provides thousands of youth and adults the opportunity to come together as a community of God’s people to learn more about Jesus Christ, the Christian faith, and their Lutheran identity. During the five days of the Gathering, youth spend time together in God’s Word, worship, service, and fellowship with others from across the synod. This event is organized by LCMS Youth Ministry in St. Louis.
Amy Schweim is the NOW District’s Coordinator for the Gathering. She will assist congregations with questions or who need help preparing for this big event. She can be reached at alschweim@comcast.net.
