When I was in high school, I attended a church retreat. We had a special present waiting for us one evening...a letter from our parents!
The Fundraising Series

I would like to give you a few ideas on how to fund-raise some money so that you can lessen the financial burden of attending the Gathering.

I wanted to give you some fundraising ideas that have been beneficial to me as a youth and as a leader.

Here a few more fundraising ideas...these are smaller and easier to do and don't require as much planning.

The Gathering is a wonderful gift from God, and I hope that you will be receiving this gift in New Orleans in July.

During my five Gatherings, I have experienced so much talent. The Gathering Team really puts forth some of the best the LCMS has to offer.

During the holiday season it is good to take time and reflect. As I think back on previous Youth Gatherings, I think back to New Orleans in the summer of 2001. On the trip that year was my buddy’s son, Cory Selby.

As I was watching the New Orleans Saints play in the Monday football game a few weeks ago, I got excited! I found myself thinking about the Youth Gathering next summer.

So, you are busy signing up for the Gathering - that's great! There's only one problem.... How are you going to get to New Orleans?

As you are registering for the Gathering, you may find yourself saying that, over and over again! If you are like me, when it comes to overnight events at hotels, you would like to have an adult in EVERY room; you want as much help as you can get! But, with the Adult to Youth Ratio for the Gathering, this just isn't always possible.

This is a question I have heard many times since it was announced that the 2010 Youth Gathering would take place in New Orleans. It is a very good question given the fact that in 2005, Hurricane Katrina nearly tore New Orleans apart. It was bad enough that Gathering planners were forced to move the 2007 Gathering, originally scheduled for New Orleans, to Orlando. In case you have some concerns, let me give you some information to ponder.

Last time we looked at the fact that the Youth Gathering is something that we can use as a ministry tool. Not only is the Gathering a powerful, impactful event, but it is also an event that can be used to invite people who need their faith strengthened, or who need to hear the great news of Jesus! What an opportunity we have!

In the summer of 1995, I was a 17 year old with a lot of dreams and goals, but with not much of a foundation. I was a member of the Catholic Church, but I wasn't active in the church and didn't really want to be there. A few of my friends were going to the Lutheran youth gathering in San Antonio, Texas. They INVITED me to go and I thought that would be awesome - a trip with my friends to a far-away place I had never been... Yep, that would definitely be something I would be interested in!
