I was asked to fly down and attend the ELCA National Youth Gathering in New Orleans, but just could not swing it with all my commitments at St. Andrew. So instead, I worked with Tim Roser, and we came up with this idea for a video message. They held a worship service with roughly 450 New England Synod folks attending the gathering. This video is what I prepared. It was shot next to a U-haul truck while I was on a Mission Trip with our own High School students from St. Andrew.
