Area Ministry Youth News

Wait up, hold the phone -- what the heck's an area ministry?

Okay, here comes the subdivision spiel: All American ELCA churches are a part of the ELCA. The states are divided into REGIONS, which include five or so states. Within these regions are SYNODS. Within the synods are AREA MINISTRIES. And, lastly, within the area ministries are the separate congregations. Get it? Got it? Good.

Area Five's Brian Blue, of Our Savior Lutheran in Mulvane, was recently elected Vice President of the Central States Synod Lutheran Youth Organization. The term is for, count 'em, two years.

• In order to make this section of the CSS LYO Webpage beneficial, we are going to need constant input about area or multi-area youth events around the synod. Please send any and all information concerning youth events to csslyo@hotmail.com so that we can post it up on the webpage ASAP!
• Also, we would like to post a weekly picture of a youth event from various churches/areas across the synod. If you would like to send a picture of your youth making a difference or just having fun, please send an email to csslyo@hotmail.com to get information as to where to send the picture. All pictures will be returned upon request. Please include a brief description of the picture and the name and location of the church (including area ministry, if possible).
