The weekend of August 5-7th NT-NL Synod, ELCA was pleased to host a first every Latinx Young Adult gathering at Briarwood Leadership Center. This event, conceived and executed by our DEM, the Rev. Irma Banales and our Conferencia Latina NT-NL ELCA, was a wonderful opportunity to bring together young adults from NT-NL and beyond to invigorate their faith and build community.

They enjoyed time together, speakers who came from across our church and world. And were encouraged to consider how they can become leaders in our church. I was pleased to spend time with them on Friday night before leaving for our ELCA Churchwide assembly. Grateful for the way our leaders in NT-NL continue to grow, develop, and be trailblazers in our church. #NTNL #EnMisionJuntos #InMissionTogether
