New Orleans Bound

A significant part of the learning in the Children, Youth, and Family Ministry program at Luther happens outside of the classroom.

Coursework + Context + Community = Learning here.

Part of this learning happens well outside the classroom in events like the ELCA Youth Ministry Network Extravaganza. 2nd year students in the CYF program are given a stipend to attend the yearly gathering. This year takes us to New Orleans! This is my first Extravaganza, though not my first large youth ministry conference. It has been an exciting day of traveling, exploring Bourbon street for dinner, large group worship, introductions, meeting new people, seeing old friends, and connecting faces with names (Oh yeah, I met you last summer at Sugar Creek Bible Camp…etc.)

It is a wonderful adventure!
