Partners in Ministry

As Christians, we are part of a community that has been knit together across time and space, across history and geography, into one through Jesus Christ. Ministry would not be possible if not for the great multitude and variety of people whom God calls to work together for the kingdom of heaven.

One place and time where this is most clearly visible is at the triennial Sr. High Youth Gathering of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Every three years, 30,000+ teens from across the country gather in a single city to worship, learn and serve. They are sent out to do service projects all dressed in the same color shirt. The "sea of orange shirts" has been to New Orleans twice now, giving hope to residents there still recovering from Hurricane Katrina and astounding the youth who participate by the visual representation of God's Church.
Picture
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, 
let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, 
and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, 
looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, 
who for the sake of the joy that was set before him endured the cross, 
disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat 
at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-3
