In reply to Paul K..

Paul, I love to hear the coordination of your local congregations. We are "better together" and I hope this investment is a blessing to all involved.

Also, thanks for sharing the ideas congregations are doing and can do to connect young people in meaningful opportunities to serve and lead. LCMS Youth Ministry research and experience backs you up! We are thankful for congregations who support young people through service that puts faith into action. It's a great way to provide times of fellowship and acts of care and mercy for our neighbor. Thank you for your prayers and service to young people in your congregation and community!
