Service Trip & Youth Gathering
Every summer, our youth put our faith into practice in service to our neighbors. In recent years we have been to Booneville, Arkansas and Kansas City, Missouri. This summer we worked with the people of West Virginia. It is a wonderful opportunity to experience what God is up to in our world. We look forward to another year of service in 2011-2012! Look up "Fjeldberg Youth" on Facebook to see pictures!
This summer's trip: New Orleans Youth Gathering
When: July 18-22
What: The theme, citizens with the saints, is drawn from the second lesson for Sunday, July 22, 2012 (Ephesians 2:14–20), paraphrased here:
Jesus is our peace. In his life and death on the cross, Jesus broke down the dividing walls so that we are no longer strangers and outsiders, but we are citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God. The foundation of God’s house was built of apostles and prophets, and Jesus, the cornerstone, holds it all together.
The theme also blends the rich faith history, diverse cultures and arts of New Orleans with the communion of saints that is present whenever and wherever God’s people gather!
Where: New Orleans
Fjeldberg has 16 youth and 5 adults attending The Gathering. They will be worshiping at the New Orleans Superdome and working in the community. If you would like to sponsor a youth to attend The Gathering contact Hilary Furuseth.

The youth are also doing a pop can drive. Bring your empty pop cans to the church and we will turn them in for you. There are boxes in the youth room and in the fellowship hall. Bring them in any time. We will come and pick up the cans at your house if you would like. Just call the church and we will come and pick them up.
Sponsor one of the youth to come to the gathering. By becoming a sponsor you will receive a post card while we are in New Orleans and be invited to a breakfast where we will be talking about our trip. If you would like to sponsor a youth to go on the trip send a check to the church for $50, $100, or $125. Any donation is much appreciated.
