As Bishop I am often asked by congregations how they can attract young adults. How they can help them connect to faith. Well a great way is supporting outdoor ministry, campus ministry, and federal chaplaincy. For us in NT-NL that means supporting Briarwood. https://www.briarwoodretreat.org/ways-to-give
These are young adult ministries and are effective. This morning (Monday July 20th) I was encouraged by Gunnar’s words in worship from Briarwood Leadership Center online. His encouragement based on Hebrews 11 was a gift to me and my family this morning along with the fun songs and worship. Take advantage of these resources this summer, friends. They are a gift from NT-NL Synod, ELCA young people to you. #NTNL #BWTX #InMissionTogether
