On Friday we gathered with the other congregations from the Saint Paul Area Synod. With about 300 Youth we did an interactive Bible Study based on the story in Mark 2. Four men carry a paralytic friend to Jesus for healing and they had to dig through the roof and lower his mat to reach Jesus. We talked about what lengths we would go to in order to bring someone to Jesus.
As a pastor, I am so proud of what lengths our congregation goes to help our youth experience the healing love of Jesus. We call great staff like Hannah Koehler and Sarah Storvick, we equip dedicated volunteers like Leslee Donovan and John Moore, we provide challenging mission trips, and we financially support our children and youth ministry.
The youth have shared many highs and some lows this week. But also lots of "God sightings", events where they felt God's guiding hands. God has been active in our Rising Up Together. Thanks be to God.
