2009 ELCA Youth Gathering Getting Ready Resource
March 2009
 

The Getting Ready materials and Bible studies are an important part of preparing your group and leaders for their experience in New Orleans and what it means to serve in the mind and manner of Christ.

The Getting Ready resources are sent out monthly and are archived.
 

March's Getting Ready resources

Vocation and service-learning

Listening, vocation, and compassionate justice
We will be serving our brothers and sisters in New Orleans by hearing their stories, getting to know them, compassionately working for justice with them, and remembering them as we return home

This month’s lesson will help your group understand how God has called them to the vocation of faithful listeners and compassionate doers of justice.

 

Wellness, health, and the Gathering
The ELCA Youth Gathering and Wellplanet.org are working together to offer tools for being healthy, well, faithful servants of Christ.

Join the Wellplanet.org community today and discover a deeper spiritual link to faithfully restoring a more compassionate, greener, and healthier world through Christ who strengthens us. "Caring for ourselves to better care for others" is what www.wellplanet.org is all about.
