NOLA ELCA Youth Gathering 2024 – July 18

Today’s theme was created to be free. During accompaniment day we learned about gender equality/justice. Our three church groups talked about issues that our churches face, and ways we can solve those issues. Our high was being able to experience the New Orleans rain. Instead of taking the trolley back to the hotel, we decided to walk. Our low was the result of the rain. Meaning wet clothes, soggy shoes, and being cold in the air conditioned hotel. We saw God in the thunder on our walk back. Us Christians are created to be free. The speakers tonight portrayed what that meant as Christians. We are free to be ourselves and God will love us no matter what. God wants us to be ourselves and loves us as we are.
