What is the LYO Rally / Hike-a-thon? LYO (Lutheran Youth Organization) are youth who members of Lutheran churches who get together to serve, play, learn and grow together. It is an organization who gives youth a voice in the larger church and opportunities to be leaders. The LYO Rally is an opportunity for churches in Eastern NC to gather together to celebrate and serve together. Each year at the Rally we travel to Camp Agape to be part of the Hike-a-thon and Basket Raffle. It's a fundraiser to support the environmental education program at Camp Agape that serves so many schools and campers throughout the year. Participants are able to hike over 8 miles of trails, enter to win basket raffles and enjoy a beautiful worship together!
Cost: The event will be cost approximately $30 per person ($25 goes to support Camp Agape's Environmental Education Program- ACE Ed) Costs will cover two meals, supplies and a hike-a-thon t-shirt that every person receives.
How to get signed up: Register on the youth and family bulletin board or email Charlie Klusman charlie@doveandcross.org. |

What is the NYG?
After hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast wreaking havoc on the city of New Orleans, ELCA members rolled up their sleeves and helped with the heavy lifting. In 2009 37,000 ELCA young people showed up in New Orleans ready to help rebuild a struggling city.
Sure, they completed service projects-painted, took out trash, raked, cleaned and made repairs-because there was a lot of physical work to be done.
But they also made a human connection. They learned about hospitality and how people overcame anxiety with an unwavering faith. They began a journey that travels far beyond service projects with the residents of NOLA.
That’s why the ELCA Youth Gathering is going back to New Orleans in 2012– to continue the good work and learn the new house God is building, “a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built together spiritually into a dwelling place for God.” (Ephesians 2:21b-22)
