Our University Lutheran Church (ULC) Young Adults recently met to discuss the upcoming ELCA Young Adult Gathering in New Orleans from July 16-20. The theme for the Gathering is “Created to Be” entered on Psalm 139:14 (I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.)
Due to the expense, Bryan Gamelin (ULC Young Adult Coordinator), Paul Westermann (LCM and ASU graduate student), and other ULC Young Adults worked together to compile a fundraising letter in attempt to raise funds to help cover some of the costs.
If you would like to make a donation for the young adults who will be attending, you may do so on our website. Please scroll to: LCM Individual Gifts and in the “Note” section—put Young Adult Gathering. Any donation is greatly appreciated.
If you are interested in attending or helping with fundraising, please contact Bryan Gamelin (ULC Young Adult Coordinator) at ulcyoungadult@gmail.com
