2020 Middle School Gathering Resources
These resources were developed by the 2020 NE MN Synod LYO Board for congregations to use in place of the annual Middle School Gathering to help youth explore how the Apostle's Creed helps shape our identity as a child of Go within a faith community, so we can live our faith in the world. We invite you to continue using them for confirmation, youth group, Sunday school or more!
