ELCA Youth Gathering in New Orleans!
At their regular monthly meeting in September, the Congregation Council received a motion from the Youth Committee to hire Tony Magturo as our new Interim Director of Youth Ministry. The vote was unanimous.
Tony comes to us with a wealth of experience in youth ministry throughout the Delaware-Maryland and Metro-DC Synods. In addition, he is involved in the Lutheran Youth Organization of our synod (six youth from First Lutheran are members of LYO) and he is a member of the planning team for the ELCA National Youth Gathering in New Orleans next summer. He is working with us half-time as budgets allow. Initially he will be with us on Sunday’s and Tuesday’s; with our newly-energized Youth Committee. Tony is charged with establishing our middle and high school youth ministry program.
2012 ELCA Youth Gathering will take place in New Orleans, Louisiana July 18-22 2012. Get more information online: Click here!
Sunday school is a time for our high school youth to gather and share what's going on in their lives, talk about current events, and make plans for service opportunities and retreats. Join us from 9:15 a.m. - 10:15 a.m. in the Youth room on Sunday mornings from September - May.
