Deutsches Fest! A Great Success
On Saturday, October 6th, many in our congregation, along with some folks from Abiding Savior Lutheran Church, gathered for our 6th Annual Deutsches Fest to celebrate our Lutheran heritage. A big “Thank You” goes out to Virgil Hobbs who organized this event and to all who decorated, cooked, baked, grilled, and cleaned up afterwards to help make this such an enjoyable celebration. We had our largest attendance to date and all proceeds from this event will go towards our Lutheran Youth Group’s trip to the National Youth Gathering in Minneapolis, MN in 2021. To date a total of $1,541.00 was collected.

The Youth will be the recipients of this year’s Deutsches Fest funds to support their trip to the 2021 National Youth Gathering.

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!
