Youth/Young Adults
Synod Youth Ministry Vision
To equip congregations, youthworkers, parents, and youth with the tools to create a culture that develops a vital, active, living faith in Christ Jesus in the lives of our youth and their families.
Ministry with children, youth and young adults, or ministry in the first third of life is what this section of our website is all about. Faith formation continues to be a partnership between the home, the congregation, this office, and the many youth and adults who volunteer countless hours in Christian education, event ministry and servant learning and travel. With important leadership provided by the Lower Susquehanna Synod Lutheran Youth Organization (LSSLYO), this office strives to be a hub for downloadable forms and resources, information sharing, assistance with congregational youth ministry planning, and youth event management.

LutheranHANDS headed to Indiana in July
LutheranHANDS was founded by two local Lutherans who wanted to give their peers an outlet for living out their discipleship in hands-on, practical service venues. They have led hundreds of youth, adults, and youth leaders to the American gulf coast to help with hurricane clean-up and rebuilding efforts over the past four years. This year, they turn their attention to flood victims in the Midwest. This summer’s trip to Lake Station, Indiana, not far from metro Chicago, is currently registering at http://lutheranhands.org. Trip dates are July 11-17, 2010, and senior high youth, college youth and adults, are all welcome to register. The trip costs $375, and that includes travel, lodging and most meals. Visit their website today for additional details or to register.
