Jesus, Justice, Jazz: The Tour

Every three years, the ELCA National Youth Gathering brings thousands of Lutheran high school youth together from across the nation. This summer, New Orleans hosted 36,000 youth at the 2009 Gathering with the theme Jesus, Justice, Jazz, held July 23-26.
The spirit for changing the world ignited by the Gathering will continue leaving New Orleans. On Saturday, November 7, 2009, Gustavus will be a regional site to a “next step” experience, Jesus, Justice, Jazz: The Tour. This follow-up event is being held to re-inspire the spirit and challenges of the Gathering. It is an opportunity for young people to have one more powerful experience of justice, faith, advocacy, music, storytelling, and much more.
Christian artists David Scherer ’99 (aka “Agape”), “Lost and Found,” and Rachel Kurtz will perform at this on-campus, day-long event this fall, and a follow-up call for change in the world will be held. Call the Office of Church Relations at 507-933-7001 for more information or to learn how to pre-register.
