SUMMARY:Youth Assembly
DESCRIPTION:In years when our Synod Assembly does not meet\, the youth of the Virginia Synod are invited to an event called “Youth Ministry Summit” where we do some of the same things we would be doing at Youth Assembly\, but with less formal business. We’ll concentrate on hearing and exploring the story of the church’s work beyond the congregations of the youth participants and invite them to participate in conversation and leadership for the Synod’s Youth Ministry. This year\, this lock-in style overnight will be at Epiphany Lutheran Church in Richmond\, April 24-25 (Friday evening to Saturday afternoon). \nCLICK HERE to go to the event page for the Youth Ministry Summit\, which contains complete information and preregistration instructions. \nTHANKS TO EVERYONE who made the 2025 Virginia Synod Youth Assembly another wonderful gathering of the youth of Virginia! \nWe elected the 2025-2027 Lutheran Youth Organization (LYO) Board – Kat Kolodinsky\, Caroline Griffin\, Retta Short\, and Denman Blanchard – and received important presentations from various ministries of the church\, including Campus Ministry and the ELCA Coaching program. \nYouth Assembly 2027 is scheduled for the same time as the Synod Assembly\, as usual – June 11-13\, 2027 (Friday noon to Sunday noon) at Roanoke College.  This event is planned by our Synod’s Lutheran Youth Organization Board. \n \nThe Purpose of the Youth Assembly is: \n\nto give glory to God\, celebrate the good news of the gospel\, and nurture faith in the synod’s young leaders.\nto conduct the business of the Synodical Lutheran Youth Organization\, including the election of the LYO Board.\nto hear and explore the story of the church’s work beyond the congregations of the youth delegates and equip them to share and interpret those stories in their home contexts.\nto give voice to and encourage leadership among youth in the church.\n\nParticipants consist of delegates sent from our congregations in 7th through 12th grade. Additional advance information on the 2027 Youth Assembly will start to be available in summer of 2026 and full registration opportunities will begin in early 2027. \nFor additional information or questions\, contact Dave Delaney (c: 540-529-6893 / delaney@vasynod.org).

SUMMARY:Writing an Effective Resolution or Memorial
