We are through security and eagerly waiting at our gate, ready for a great week of Lutheran Youth Fun in New Orleans! Although I am sure many of you are still asleep as I type this, prayers for safe travels when you read this would be appreciated. A special thank you to the wonderful parents who dropped their kids off at church at 2:30 am and an extra large THANK YOU to Milt and Andrew for driving the group to the airport. The group will post here with pictures and posts throughout the week, so stay tuned to hear about our adventures in “The Big Easy”.

Additionally, if you are interested in watching any of the live streams from the Mass Gathering or reading up on the Gathering blog, they can be found here:

Again, thank you so much for your prayers, financial support, and generosity. We are so excited for an incredible week!

Sincerely,

Ben, Micah, Sofie, Enna, Allie, Lucy, Teagan, Erika, and Julene
