2010 Gathering Samplers
Adult Leaders or congregations new to the Gathering can review resources from the 2010 National LCMS Gathering by requesting a 2010 Gathering Sampler. This includes the 2010 guidebook, memory book and DVD. Although a new city, theme and daily events will be a part of 2013, these resources can provide an overview of the many opportunities and options youth and their adult leaders experienced in 2010. Request a sampler by e-mailing your name and mailing address to youth.ministry@lcms.org. Supplies are limited.
