The theme for the 2010 National LCMS Youth Gathering is “We Believe”, based on John 20:31, “But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” (ESV) About this theme, Rev. Terry Dittmer, Director for Youth Ministry notes, “Gathering participants always share how much it means to encounter other students who “believe like I do” as part of the National Gathering. “We Believe” is a wonderful, corporate expression of our faith in Jesus Christ, especially as we focus on the creed and our confession as we take that faith to the New Orleans community in Word, celebration, service, witness and fellowship.” Staff of the DCS Youth Ministry Office, the 2010 Gathering Executive Team, Rev. Dr. Joel Lehenbauer of the LCMS Commission on Theology and Church Relations and other “creative experts” from across the Church and the LCMS Southern District participated in developing the theme. “We Believe”, the 11th triennial National LCMS Youth Gathering will be held July 17—21, 2010 in New Orleans, La. 2010 marks the event’s third visit to New Orleans. Previous New Orleans’ Gatherings included “A Time for Joy” (1992) and “Higher Ground” (2001). The Gathering had planned to hold its 2007 event in New Orleans, but moved to Orlando in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. “New Orleans is once more a vibrant city for meeting the mission of the National LCMS Youth Gathering,” shares Gretchen Jameson, Associate Director for LCMS Youth Ministry – Communications. | |
