ELCA National Youth Gathering 2012:

The ELCA national youth gathering in New Orleans is fourteen months away. This incredible life-changing opportunity is available for our high school youth. This experience gives young people the chance to share their faith with youth from across the country and strengthens their relationship with Jesus Christ.

In order for the youth from Holy Trinity and their friends to participate in the gathering we need the support of parents and members of the congregation. As we prepare for the gathering, the congregation has the opportunity to walk with the youth and make an impact on their lives. Preparation for youth participants and their families includes fundraising, bible study, and group building.

The time is upon us to get a clear commitment from the youth and their families, who will be attending the gathering in July, 2012. In order to reserve a spot for this formational event a $50.00 non-refundable deposit is due by June 8th, 2011. The gathering opens the door for our youth to become leaders in all aspects of their lives. The gathering fosters a life-long faith journey that benefits the youth, families, and community at Holy Trinity.

Confirmation

Youth in grades seven, eight and nine take part in a three-year confirmation program which offers serious study and searching the Scriptures in an attempt to recognize the relationship between faith and life.

Youth Groups and Special Events

To encourage a sense of belonging to our Church family, our youth are given opportunities to participate in the annual Christmas program and other special events: the giving tree, special projects for shut-ins, and special music during the church services. A children's sermon is offered to the little ones during our regular church service, and the older youth assist as ushers, acolytes and lectors.

Although much of the education is provided within our church home, youth group activities and special events involving all congregational ages are held on a regular basis.

Formal First Communion Preparation if offered in the fall or spring, as the children become ready.

Activities outside the church such as a fall hayride, bowling, ice skating, sleighing and swimming parties, provide an atmosphere of celebration and sense of belonging for young and old alike.

Our junior and senior youth groups provide additional avenues for reaching out to our youth. Some of the activities available include one-week camping events held at the Fortune Lake Bible Camp in Crystal Falls, other camping experiences and special retreats, youth gatherings, leadership schools, service projects, such as those to the annual Holiday Youth Congress in Green Bay. A summer confirmation trip is taken when there is interest and funding, visiting places such as  Sky Ranch in Colorado and Outlaw Ranch in South Dakota and more.
