As for Me and My House, We Will Serve the Lord!

More than 400 young people and counselors traveled from all around the country to attend the 2004 Lutheran Youth Convention in Central Florida from July 29th through August 1st. The site of the convention was the campus of Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, a suburb of Orlando.

The convention theme was As for Me and My House, We Will Serve the Lord." The Bible studies and morning and evening devotions centered on the subjects of family, marriage and dating.

On Friday the convention participants made a trip to Islands of Adventure, the amusement park connected to Universal Studios. On Saturday the group journeyed to Vero Beach and made a visit to the Atlantic Ocean. After several hours of fun on the beach and in the mild waters of the Atlantic, the group was fed a delicious meal at the church by the members of Grace Lutheran Church in Vero Beach. The Saturday evening devotion was held at Grace Lutheran as more than 400 people squeezed into the sanctuary.

The convention concluded on Sunday with the worship service in the late morning. The Lord provided the convention with great Florida weather for all the activities. Many thanks to all the counselors, pastors and youth who made it an enjoyable convention.

The 2005 ELS Youth Convention will be held in Boston, Massachusetts on July 28-31, 2005. Stay tuned for more information, and make plans to be there!

Jonathan Madson is pastor of  Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Okauchee, Wisconsin.
