Today was yet another exciting day - our morning worship service was absolutely wonderful. It was filled with music, dance, preaching and even baptism by the ELCA Bishop!
We then visited the convention center where there were many many fun activities which we all participated in and enjoyed.
At the convention center there is the interaction center - a huge place when one can jump off a thirty-foot tower harnessed to a zip line to even get tattoos ... Hmmm - we all did ... The interaction center is designed for all to develop an awareness and passion for serving in the manner of Christ.
As the evening came - we took the streets with hundreds of others to the SUPERDOME.
Only a few years ago the site of the Superdome was the site of what was the largest toxic waste zone in the world and the site of the worst natural disaster to hit the U.S.
Our first Youth Gathering worship service was this evening in the Superdome - a gathering of more than 38,000 people. It was filled w rockin' music, videos and inspiring speakers that touched my heart - the service was just AMAZINGLY beautiful.
Inspiring speakers were:
--Liz McCartney - co-founder of St. Bernard Project - which started just after Katrina and serve to quickly rebuild homes and re-settle people into the neighborhoods of St. Bernard Parish.
--Marc Kielburger and his brother who are young social advocates and leaders of the organization - Free the Children!
We are looking forward to more excitement !!!
