Update: October 26 Youth Gathering at Love of Christ, Mesa Postponed

Youth Night of Connection Canceled—Thank You for Your Support

We regret to share that the Youth Night of Connection scheduled for Sunday, October 26, 2025, at Love of Christ Lutheran Church in Mesa has been canceled.

We’re grateful to all the congregations, leaders, and families who expressed enthusiasm and helped spread the word. Your commitment to building community and creating spaces for youth to connect in faith and fellowship embodies what it means to be the body of Christ—many members, one spirit.

Organizers hope to reschedule the event for a later date, offering the same opportunity for youth in grades 7–12 to gather for games, conversation, and shared faith. When new details become available, we’ll post updates at gcsynod.org/news and include them in the synod’s weekly newsletter.

In the meantime, we invite congregations to continue fostering youth connection in local settings—through shared meals, joint events, and mutual support. As Paul reminds us, “For just as the body is one and has many members… so it is with Christ” (1 Corinthians 12:12).

Thank you again for your support and understanding. Together, we continue to nurture the next generation of leaders in faith, hope, and love.
