Today's blog post is by Tara Eastman, the Youth & Family Director at First Lutheran in Jamestown.
Convo is a youth retreat that wraps around our annual Upstate NY Synod General Assembly each Spring. This year we will be reading and studying the transfiguration of Christ form the New Testament and the Exodus account in the Old Testament. The motto on our shirts is "The Lord leads us by day and by night."
Would you please support us in prayer this week? Below are some prayer prompts:
Tuesday
God bless all who prepare, pack and travel to Rochester to lead our Synod's youth for Convo 2012. Give traveling mercies and restful nights in this busy time of preparation and training of staff.
Wednesday
It's a quick turn around from staff training to students arriving for Convo. Bless Parents who support and transport youth and take extra measures to connect their youth to others that foster faith.
Thursday
God help our Convo family to closely bond. Help us to support, pray, play and care for each other as you intend. Help us to grow in our faith with each experience you give us!
Friday
As many travel to attend the Synod Assembly, help those voting and making leadership decisions for the ELCA in our synod. Grant us wisdom and the courage to follow Jesus on each day of our journey.
Saturday
It is time for us to take steps back to our homes, schools, and churches. Help us to carry friendships and God's spirit with us wherever we go.
