Greetings, RLC Youth Families! Lots of fun adventures are filling our calendar for March, check out the news below.
I need some help from adults for our March 20h Late Night for Youth. Adult roles are anything from helping with dinner, organizing pizza delivery, leading a small group of Youth from 5:00-9:30 pm around to game stations, leading a game/station room, set up and clean up.
Last year this was our biggest collaborative event and we need help! See Ms. Jenny for more info and to come have a fun night with the youth!

Youth Groups
Middle school students (6th-8th grade) are in an important stage of faith building. The goal is to spark that faith flame and watch it grow! We have fun, ask questions, build our team and group up, learn, serve, engage, grow, and take that faith spark out into our homes, church, families, and community.
We meet Wednesdays, 6:00-7:00 pm, September through May, in The Warehouse (Room 253) of the Family Life Center.

YOUTH GATHERING
Thank you so much for your continued prayers from the beginning to the end of our amazing experience at the 2025 LCMS Youth Gathering. The theme was ENDURE. Enduring with joy through our challenges and successes. We endured both! We had an amazing experience, met amazing people from all over the world, and had the opportunity to really dive deep into the scriptures, sessions, and relationships within our own group. Here are some of the highlights:
- 13 kids and 6 adults departed RDU on Friday, July 18 at 3:00 am - so thankful for the AA employee that helped all of us get checked in quickly.
- A large storm that dissipated the closer we got to the Gathering and even a rainbow right to the Superdome on the day we opened events.
- 3 packed days of Bible study and topical sessions (probably 3-4 hours a day), the interactive floors to explore and participate in faith building activities and the game zone. We spent from 9:30 am-5:00 pm each day in the Convention Center exploring.
- After dinner, a quick reset and swipe of fresh deodorant, we walked with 20,000 of our new friends to the Superdome (a little over a mile for us). Playing songs, singing and dancing the whole way, warming up for Praise and Worship from 8:00-10:30 pm (or later) each night. We saw FLAME and Rend Collective in concert!
- A group showed up to protest the Gathering, which did not feel good. However, what we saw was a wall of orange (our wonderful YAV’s-young adult volunteers) and New Orleans police officers cheering the youth into the Convention Center. God’s love won the day!
- We toured St. Louis Cathedral and Jackson Square, walked the Riverwalk, went to Cafe Du Monde and tried the beignets, toured the Mardi Gras Museum and Historic Oaks Mansion (thank you SED), and went to the WWII museum. Some in the group tried alligator sausage, while others preferred to hold the baby alligator that came to visit.
A great trip, a great experience, and we are so thankful for your support and prayers!
SCRIP
SCRIP is a gift card buying program that allows families to earn money through the purchasing of gift cards or e-cards. When you plan to go shopping for the things you are already going to buy (groceries, Amazon, home improvements, etc.), purchase a gift card or e-card first through Scrip and then shop.
You can earn a percentage of the gift card/e-card purchase for your youth's account. This money adds up fast and can be used as payments towards Youth Gathering, camps, events, etc.
Don’t have any youth, but still want to help RLC?
You can direct your earned rewards to the church, preschool, school, youth ministry, even designate a particular youth. SCRIP is an easy way to help out with Resurrection Lutheran youth programs.
If you are interested in joining SCRIP or finding out more information, please contact Jenny Piontek ( ).
