We gather as citizens with the saints to learn to love like Jesus by practicing discipleship through peacemaking that works for justice.

Last night at the dome!!!!

Our last day of the gathering was our justice day. Our focus was service projects through the New Orleans area. We worked with ARC and sorted recycled beads from their parade to be resold to raise monies for ARC. At first we wondered why this was a project. We learned about what ARC does and the rich history of New Orleans parades and beads, and how their recycling was important. It all made sense. And with our Minnesota work ethic, we sorted 5000+ pounds in about 4 hours!!!

The evening was a wild night! Song! Dance! Speakers! All faith-filled and Spirit led. Highlighting the finale was a concert by SWITCHFOOT!!!! AMAZING!

I want everyone to know again how blessed we are to have the youth that we have! Their energy, thoughtfulness, excitement and faith were contagious. We were so proud of them! Many Spirit filled moments!!!! Many faith journeys had life changing experiences! God is good!!!!!

We want our lives to make a difference on this world because Jesus calls us to this.
