Informational Meeting — Sept 16, 7:15 PM

Registration Due Oct 18, 2026
Something exciting is on the horizon for Trinity youth. The ELCA Youth Gathering is coming to Minneapolis June 28–July 2, bringing together roughly 25,000 young people and leaders from across the country. Trinity youth most recently went to the Gathering in New Orleans in 2024, and we are excited to begin planning for another great experience!
The theme for this Gathering is “Imagine More,” drawn from Ephesians 3:20, where Paul writes that God is able to do far more than we could ever ask or imagine.
This Gathering is an opportunity for our youth to grow in faith, deepen friendships, serve others, and experience being part of something much bigger than Trinity. And this year, Minneapolis is our home turf!
Join us for an informational meeting on September 16 at 7:30 PM to learn more about the Gathering, registration, and how you can be involved.
Please begin praying about who from our congregation might be part of this experience, whether as a youth participant or adult leader.
