Today was the last of our full ELCA Youth Gathering days,
and we, after participating in the Proclaim Community and Proclaim Story days,
found ourselves with our synod for Proclaim Story day. This consisted of many
short videos, a “story journal”, and a pen. We got to listen to our Bishop
Kirby Unti tell his faith story. At the end we took a selfie with him! We also had
communion, and sang songs with a praise band. We got to branch out and talk to
youth from our synod. It was so touching to hear their stories, and in return
we shared our stories with them.
Before that, we hung out in the Cobo
Convention Center and visited the Old Lutheran Store that had a lot of funny or
awesome t-shirts and sweatshirts. At the big youth gathering night, we listened
to a few inspirational speakers who all touched our hearts in different ways.
We also got to listen to the beautiful Rachel Kurtz sing, and we got to rock
out to Skillet! On our way back to the bus, it started to rain and we felt
right at home. ;)
All in all, it was a wonderful day and we can’t believe that
tomorrow is the last day. –Anastasia & Sara aka The Queen
