On Friday and Saturday, November 22-23, junior high youth from Norway Lake Parish, Big Grove/Crow River/Grace Parish and Trinity/West Lake Johanna Parish attended the Lutheran youth gathering hosted by the Southwestern Minnesota ELCA Synod (Evangelical Lutheran Church of America). The event, which drew hundreds of children from across southwest Minnesota, was hosted at the Holiday Inn Convention Center in Willmar.
The theme of the overnight gathering was "We are forever unbroken" and messaging based on the Bible verses from Romans 8:37-39. The key messaging to youth was that nothing can separate them from the love of God.
Two videos from the Friday night meeting of the youth, chaperones and church leaders in the banquet hall are attached to this web article. One of them features Bishop Dee Pederson speaking.
