Created to be Brave

Responding faithfully to the world God has placed us within means showing up with an open mind and heart, willing to be challenged.

Scripture References: Psalms 27:1-3, Matthew 26:36-46

From Series: "Created to Be"

This series offered in concert with the high school youth of our congregation, preparing to attend the National Youth Gathering this summer in New Orleans. "Created to Be" is the theme of the 2024 NYG and our worship in June and July will explore the same pattern youth from all over the country will experience together. We have been created to be ourselves. Created by the Holy One. Since the last time the ELCA came together for an ELCA Youth Gathering, our young people have experienced several major life events. Still today, we are experiencing an ongoing public health crisis mixed with an economic and political crisis. However, we can rest assured that we are created to be in relationship with one another. We are created to be brave, to show up with an open mind and heart, willing to be challenged. We are created to be authentic, to bring our whole selves and know that we are loved by our Creator. We are created to be free, to be transformed by the gospel. We are created to be disruptive, to work for justice for all our siblings. We are created to be disciples, to be sent out into the world to love our neighbor just as we are loved by God.
