LYO Youth Group Travels To Georgia

During the week of July 23-31 twenty members of St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Youth Organization (LYO) and five sponsors went to LaFayette, Ga. for a week of learning, serving, and fun. The theme for this trip was “The choices we make through our faith.” While there they repainted authentic Civil War cannons at Chickamauga National Military Park as their service project. They took part in daily devotions and attended a banjo-led outdoor worship service at Christ the King Lutheran Church in Dalton, Georgia. They doubled the attendance at that service. They enjoyed whitewater rafting, hiking, and ziplining. The LYO will begin its fall program on Wednesday, Sept. 1, 6:30 p.m., with a meal, a devotional time, and plenty of time for fellowship. They meet in St. Paul’s Fellowship Hall at 110 W. Walnut Street in La Grange. All high school students are welcome.
