The annual Middle School Gathering is a highly interactive experience for young people in grades 6-8 and their adult leaders. Young people and their adult leaders shared these reasons why the Middle School Gathering is good to host and attend:
It’s a good place to connect with God and connect with others we wouldn’t normally see.
To get reenergized and learn so much.
To go back home and be creative in our own churches.
It’s one way we can meet more Lutheran youth and experience the larger church.
The next MSG will be held from 10am Saturday, January 14 through Sunday, January 15, 2023, at First Lutheran Church in Kearney. Worship, mealtime conversations, interactive workshops, team building with friends from Nebraska Lutheran Outdoor Ministries and time at the Kearney YMCA will fill the weekend. The theme will be “Lean on Me,” and our guiding verses are Isaiah 41:13 and 1 Corinthians 12: 12-20.
A ratio of six youth to one adult is recommended. Adult leaders from congregations will provide round trip transportation for their congregation’s youth from First Lutheran Church in Kearney to the Kearney YMCA during the Middle School Gathering.
