2019 LCY Convention
May 17-19 at Newberry College http://scsynod.us/lcyconvention

What is LCY Convention?

At our annual LCY Convention, we meet Jesus together and celebrate the ministry we share! We will join in large and small groups to learn, grow, play, and build community together, and conduct the business of our synod’s youth organization, SCLCY. Each youth can choose to participate in either the LIVING FAITH (standard programming), WORSHIP, or DRAMA track. We will amend our constitution, elect a new president, and each Conference will vote on their youth representative for our synod’s Youth Ministry Cabinet.
LCY Convention is a perfect opportunity for youth and adults to meet new people from around South Carolina, and see what it means that we’re Church together in the South Carolina Synod and in the ELCA!

Featuring ELCA Youth Gathering speaker Joe Davis!

Voting Members and Participants: Each congregation who has submitted a pledge in any amount to LCY is eligible to send two voting members aged 9th-12th grades, and we prefer at least one male and one female if possible. There is no pledge necessary to participate, and congregations may send as many participants in 6th – 12th grades as they want!

Walking With Jesus
The New Year has come and gone but how about your resolutions? Did they include improving health and moving more? Do you need help sticking with these plans? Beginning Saturday, March 9th and running through April 13th, (excluding March 31″,) we will meet each week at 10:00 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall to review the Bible study and to learn about “whole person health”. Then we will walk together as a group around the neighborhoods of the church. We will also have a group of “Parking Lot Pedestrians” who may want to join us but have limited mobility. This group will also learn simple chair and balance exercises. On March 31st, each participant is encouraged to take their increased movement on the road to work on an OIAM project of their choice. As we transition into the Lenten Season, we are encouraged to pray and study God’s Word. As we journey towards Good Friday and the cross, what a wonderful time to re-trace the actual footsteps of Jesus as he traveled with his ministry as we work to grow stronger in mind, body, and spirit. If you would like to join us, sign up on the sheet in the narthex. Please contact Amy Goodson, FCN, if you have any questions.
