ELCA Youth Invite EYC to Youth Event in July

The Evangelical Lutheran Church of America is hosting a youth event for senior highers this summer in St. Louis, Missouri and have invited Episcopal youth to attend. The event is held every three years and they are expecting 39,000 youth and adult advisors.

The EYC has been invited for the second week (July 5-9). Since the time is short for registration, Episcopalians should register by the day at the event.
