This July, five of our St Peter congregation will be headed to New Orleans, LA for the 2025 LCMS Youth Gathering. Organized by the LCMS Youth Ministry, this triennial event brings together thousands of LCMS youth for worship and fellowship.
See their website or YouTube channel for more details.
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted
Hebrews 12:1-3 (ESV)
