The 2015 ELCA Youth Gathering took place in Detroit, from July 15–19. Over 30,000 youth and chaperones attended this gathering.
The theme for the 2015 gathering was “Rise Up”. Ford Field hosted a mass gathering each evening the 15th to the 18th, and a final morning service on July 19. Each of the three full days of the gathering (July 15–19) was designated for a different “practice” of faith.
Youth from St Mark were Ben, Mya, Skyler, and Erin. Vicki and Darrin L. were their advisors. After watching a video of Tasha Miller welcoming all to the gathering, this morning we heard each of them tell about their experience.
