ELCA Youth Links

There are a LOT of webpages out there for our Lutheran youth and parents to review and use. Most of these sites are informational, and may contain content that parents would like to discuss with their youth. Many of the links are for National Organizations of the ELCA for youth, and encourage a relationship within the denomination. Just for fun, click on them and learn more about Lutheran Opportunities “out there!”   http://www.trinitylutheranchurchgodsquad.blogspot.com/ First, check out our own Blog. This is updated now weekly with what our High School Youth is doing in the next few months. A blog is only good if you comment on what you see!   http://www.elca.org/lyo/ The Lutheran Youth Organization (LYO) is an organization of high-school age young people who are members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. There are nearly 100,000 ELCA youth across the United States and the Caribbean.   http://www.elca.org/youth/ The ELCA webpage for our denomination’s Youth programs.   http://www.elca.org/faithlens/ Faith Lens engages young people in looking at world events through the lens of faith and Scripture. This study follows the common lectionary using the lessons for the upcoming Sunday. A great place for families with high schoolers to get devotion ideas!   http://www.scouting.org/factsheets/02-520.html Even the Boy Scouts has a program for Lutheran Youth within their membership. Check this link out if you are a Scout! And Girls, there are similar programs for GSUSA and Lutheran Youth, too. Contact Sarah Stobie for more information at 949-2492, ex. 24.   http://www.theyounglutheran.org/ The Young Lutheran is an ELCA website devoted to high school youth to read and “blog.”   http://www.elca.org/campusministry/ Going to college or university? Believe it or not, you will find vibrate, daring, and spiritually challenging congregations on campus at most colleges or universities. To connect with an ELCA campus minister, check out this webpage. Also, don’t forget that in our own Youth Room, we have a display filled with brochures of ELCA colleges and universities. Trinity has a lot of members who are Lutheran college grads!
