Special Edition:The ELCA Youth Gathering

Theme VerseJesus is our peace.

In his life and death on the cross, Jesus broke down the dividing walls so that

we are no longer strangers and outsiders, but we are citizens with the

saints and also members of the household of God.

The foundation of God’s house was build of apostles and prophets, and Jesus, the cornerstone, holds it all

together.

(Ephesians 2:14-20 paraphrased)

Love like Jesus by practicing discipleship

through peacemaking that works for justice.
