  1. “This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him.” 1 John 4:9 (2013 NYG Scripture)

  2. Mass events with about 30,000 Youth in the Alamodome!

  3. Servant Events The opportunity to care for our Veterans who have cared for us, and people from all over the world! …or working in the Inner-City to share Christ’s mercy with the community.

  4. Experiential learning experiences! Blood donations Food collection for local pantries Locks of Love: Writing letter to chaplains & missionaries Making blankets for kids

  5. Malaria kills one child every 60 seconds and upwards of 1 million people a year, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Malaria is preventable and treatable. Together, we can make a life-saving difference. Half of the world’s population is at risk for malaria. It takes just one mosquito to destroy livelihoods, health and hope of entire families and communities. By helping to provide treatment and resources for education and prevention, Lutherans can make a monumental difference in the global fight against malaria. We will host an event at home to raise money for a congregational donation to this cause, prior to our going to the NYG
