Change the World

The 2009 ELCA National Youth Gathering will be in New Orleans at the end of July. Four youth and two staff members from Christ the King will be among the thousands of folks gathered to worship, learn and serve.
There are many ways to support the Gathering. You can help our youth raise funds for their trip by having your car washed in the Albertsons parking lot this Saturday morning (beginning at 10am) or buying stock in their trip. Each share of stock costs $25 - the dividends include access to their trip blog while they're in New Orleans, a postcard and souvenir from New Orleans, and a ticket to the share-holders' meeting and dinner on the 31st of July. Contact Steph, our Director of Family and Youth Ministry or the Church Office for more information about these opportunities.

Another way to support the whole Youth Gathering is to donate funds for the service projects the youth will do in New Orleans. This on-line giving opportunity allows us to purchase the items youth will use during their service experiences in New Orleans. The best part is that the items will remain in New Orleans when ELCA youth leave - things like school supplies, household maintenance items and tools, trees and grass. Check it out!
