Youth | Journey with Jesus | Inescapable L(o)ve

Theme Verse

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38-39 (NRSVUE)

Inescapable Love

God’s love is as much a part of us as the air that we breathe and cells that make up our bodies. The Bible says that NOTHING has the power to separate us from God’s love. This year, the synod youth gathering will explore ways we can know, share, and experience the love God has for us in Christ Jesus. 

Keynote Speaker

Pastor Jenn Pockat, Associate to the Bishop in our synod, will share her faith story with us and lead us in interactive bible study, play, and prayer as we explore the theme. Pastor Jenn grew up going to Sunday School every week with her family - in fact, there’s a sticker chart somewhere that proves it. It wasn’t until finding the Lutheran Church in middle school that she started to experience God’s love in a different way - through other people who taught her about grace for the first time and a worship experience that involved her. Pastor Jenn lives on a little farm in Caroline, Wisconsin with her husband Don and their cats. When she’s not working, she’s playing Nintendo or working in her garden.

She is the editor of Call to Allyship: Preparing Your Congregations for Leaders of Color. She lives with her husband, Benhi, and their three beautiful children in MInneapolis, MN.

  • Session 1 Keynote - Vance Blackfox
    Indian 101

    The general population knows very little about the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island (North America) - even the most basic topics are often grand mysteries. This is, of course, by design as the colonial project has prioritized the complete erasure of Native people for centuries. This session will provide a foundation for standing in solidarity with Indian people across the US as we work together to dismantle longstanding systems of oppression.

    (Note: Sessions 2 and 3 will offer a choice of breakout sessions.)

    Session 2A  Breakout - Vance Blackfox
    Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG)

    Indigenous women are 2.5 times more likely to experience violent crimes, and in 2020, there were 5,293 reports of missing American Indian and Alaska Native women and girls; only 690 cases were logged in the federal missing person database. In this session, Vance will discuss this problem that has hit very close to home for him.

    Session 2B Breakout - Rev. Angela !Khabeb
    Living Out Justice in a Purple Context

    How do we build the Beloved Community across political party affiliations in our congregations, workplaces, and even our families? Rev. Angela will discuss how to remain true to the gospel while acknowledging the systemic ills of our society - mainly racism and anti-blackness. 

    Session 2C Breakout -
    LA? We All Rise? St. Mark’s? 

    Session 3A Breakout - Vance Blackfox
    Indigenous Thought and Theology

    Indian People have unique and beautiful ways of understanding the world. Indigenous wisdom - as it relates to living things in relation to the Creator, Mother Earth, and other created beings - should be centered if we want to provide better care for our home and all of our relatives. Indigenous Thought and Theology introduces this wisdom and examines ways of understanding, respecting, and interacting with this wondrous world we inhabit.

    Session 3B Breakout - Rev. Angela !Khabeb
    What We Can Do: Call to Allyship

    This session will feature discussion of specific and concrete things we can do, some from Call to Allyship: Preparing Your Congregation for Leaders of Color. It will also provide time for Q and O (Rev. Angela says she has more opinions than answers) for ideas to take back to your congregation. 

    Session 3C: Coming Soon!

    Session 4 Closing Worship

    Closing worship will include beautiful music, prayers, and Rev. Angela’s sermon which promises to convict us but also inspire and give us hope as we go out to do justice for all God’s people.


    (Note: worship offering will support other Racial Justice events in ECSW.)

ELCA Young Adults: Gather by the Bay

ELCA Young Adults: Gather by the Bay

Welcome to Gather by the Bay!

What is it?
It's a ministry run by young adults, for young adults, that tend to meetup in-person around the greater Green Bay region. It's one instance of the nationwide Gather Network, coordinated and funded by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, but operated and led at the local level. (TL;DR: We get to do what we want, hehehe! :)

What DO you do?
We relax and enjoy fellowship (eating food and chatting) with each other, explore complex questions about vocation or difficult life events, maybe help those in communities near or far, and sometimes even play a game or two. (But really, it's more fellowship than anything)

Alright then, what's the catch?
Uhhhh, there really isn't!
Other than the intended age range of 18-35, there are NO long-term commitments, membership dues, restrictions, questionnaires, homework, income requirements, or identity expectations. It's a network of people that welcomes anyone 18-35—without any other exception—to be themselves and provide support no matter where you are along life's whacky journey (and God's often really whacky part in it!).

Cool. How do I join?
Just drop by our next Gather time!

Ready to Join Us?

Come to our next gathering:

Olive's Pizza and Sandwiches
516 Greene Ave, Green Bay, WI 54301

Look for Robbie and the “Gather by the Bay”

Synod Learning Day

Synod Learning Day

Join others for a day of connection and learning to nourish, inspire, and strengthen your ministry! This event is for church people of all kinds: those interested in connection, rostered ministers, council leaders, parish staff, and those engaged in any kind of ministry in a congregation.

Registration caps at 120 participants. REGISTER HERE
$40/person includes lunch, materials, and learning.

Workshops & Keynote

Holy Conversations and Church Vitality with Pastor Dara Clifford
It’s no secret: the world is changing, and the church is changing right along with it! In this workshop, Pastor Dara will offer some background information to support the trends church folks are noticing and feeling, and will share language and framework for possible pathways forward for congregations who are finding themselves in a new era of life together.

Evangelism and Holy Experiments with Lynette Stoneburner and Pr. Karoline Schwantes

New ideas for ministry can be hard to get off the ground. When Lynette Stoneburner began to envision an inclusive community park that was a space where everyone could play, regardless of age and ability - she wasn’t sure how it would all happen. Through prayers, supportive leadership, the vision of Emanuel in Seymour, and generosity from the wider community the dream for ministry became an impactful reality. Hear from two leaders in our synod who have experience and understanding of resources, including the synod mission table, that can help turn prayers for new ministry into a reality.

Transitions, Trends, and Leaders with Pastor Asher O’Callaghan
Transitions are a time when God invites us to let go of what has been for the sake of what could yet be. It is often a time when both anxiety and expectations are high. Clarity can often bring peace of mind during times of uncertainty as the Holy Spirit calls and sends leaders in the Church. This workshop will provide attendees with current trends in church transitions and a detailed overview of both the process and resources available for your congregation during times of transition. While this workshop will not provide space to advise leaders on specific calls or congregations in transition, it will share the best way to be in touch when support is most needed.

Cultivating Community Partnerships with Pastor Jim Honig, Pastor Matt Sauer, and Deni Kuchler
In this panel discussion, hear from three leaders who developed impactful ministries with the help of partnerships in their communities. Learn how the inception of a ministry idea turned into a reality through partnerships that were established across denomination lines and the public sector. If you're wondering about making a difference through feeding and housing ministries and more, please join the conversation. 

Healthy Pastor/People Relationships: Why Pastors Stay with Pastor Libby Howe will share factors that make an impact for creating a sustaining, healthy relationship between pastor and people. This workshop would be great for council leaders, mutual ministry members, personnel committees and pastors alike.

Church Treasurers and Administrators Benefits Workshop, with Jennifer Prinz

As an ELCA ministry, Portico Benefit Services offers health, flexible spending, retirement, disability, and survivor plans to help rostered leaders and lay employees strengthen their well-being. As the benefits administrator for your organization, your pastors, deacons, and lay staff, rely on you to help them navigate their ELCA benefits. In this session, discover the resources available to help you effectively sponsor your employees in Portico Benefit Services.  Join Regional Representative, Jennifer Prinz, as she leads this interactive session.

Smooth Sailing: Becoming a Resilient Leader in Turbulent Times, with Jennifer Prinz

Resilience is not perfection, but the ability to move forward in imperfect realities. Whether it's leading the church, dealing with difficult situations, or navigating the inevitable bumps and setbacks of life, it is possible to not just survive, but thrive. Discover how to cultivate your God-given strengths and develop healthy practices that will give you the stamina, confidence, and inner peace you need to be a resilient leader.

Keynote

Self-care and the Care of Others: Ministry and Trauma in the Wake of the COVID Pandemic
Synod Learning Day is fast approaching and we’re shifting gears! We realized one of our workshops was just too impactful to not make it a keynote. Join others for this day of learning in November complete with workshops and time learning from our speaker, Sally Hudson, BSN, MS, MSW, LCSW, who will share the presentation, Self-care and the Care of Others: Ministry and Trauma in the Wake of the COVID Pandemic. With over 38 years of experience in the health sciences, with 20 years as a mental health therapist, Sally will provide a basic understanding of trauma for Pastors and Lay Leaders, so they will better understand the effects of the COVID pandemic in the Church community; to recognize the signs of trauma; and to find ways to promote spiritual care and healing.

Fall Conference
Oct
21
to Oct 23

Fall Conference

There is no longer Jew or Greek; there is no longer slave or free; there is no longer male and female, for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.
— Galatians 3:28

Letting go without giving up

A fall retreat for rostered ministers in beautiful Door County with Keynote Speaker, Jennifer Hockenbery (Biography Below)

The Landmark Resort once again hosts our fall retreat for pastors and deacons.

Together we will discuss how to let go of the idols of Being Good, Appearing Beautiful, and Knowing Truth as well as the need to let go of the guilt that is tied up with pursuing those idols. But that doesn’t mean just, as Kierkegaard once said about Lutheran morality “lightening up a little,” which actually can make us just feel more guilty and anxious about still feeling guilty and anxious! What it does mean is finding a new freedom in faith in the God who pursues us in love, cloaks us in righteousness, and teaches us through the Spirit. Living in this faith allows us to Love Joyfully—the very opposite of Giving Up.


The verse Galatians 3:28 is going to be the framework for the discussion. In each session we are going to discuss how systemic class divisions about who is valuable create false idols of goodness, beauty, and truth that bind us to cycles of guilt and anxiety. We will think about Paul’s (and Luther’s) theological argument against the categories themselves and our own possibilities for teaching, preaching, and living more freely in our churches, institutions, and individual lives.

Keynote Speaker - Jennifer Hockenbery

Keynote speaker, Jennifer Hockenberry

Jennifer Hockenbery is the interim executive director of WELCA and the current editor of Journal of Lutheran Ethics.  She was dean of Humanities at St. Norbert College from 2020-2024 and Professor of Philosophy at Mount Mary University from 1998-2020.  Her edited volume, The Devil's Whore: Reason and Philosophy in the Lutheran Tradition, brought together philosophers, theologians, and historians to discuss how Lutheran theology was influenced by the philosophical traditions of Greece, Roman, and Medieval Europe and how Lutheran theology influenced and incfluences the philosophy after Luther.  Her books, Thinking Woman: A philosophical approach to the quandary of gender and Wisdom's Friendly Heart:Augustinian Hope for Skeptics and Conspiracy Theorists,  both explore dialogue as a way to help us find consensus and ethical paths forward in issues surrounding gender and politics.  A lifelong Lutheran who has enjoyed all the stages of church life, from being in Christmas pageants to directing them, from sitting in Sunday School to teaching it, and from enjoying Luther League to participating in mostly older adult education, she is now a member of Grace Lutheran Church in Green Bay.

God's work. Our hands.
Sep

God's work. Our hands.

This day is an opportunity to celebrate who we are as the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America — one church, freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor.

Service activities offer an opportunity for us to explore one of our most basic convictions as Lutherans: that all of life in Jesus Christ – every act of service, in every daily calling, in every corner of life — flows freely from a living, daring confidence in God’s grace.
