ALL TENNESSEE 2021

SAVE THE DATE: November 13-14, 2021

Location: TBA

an IN-PERSON gathering of all youth (6th-12th grade) of the Southeastern Synod,

especially those from Tennessee

Greetings from Pastor Andrew, Campus Pastor at Grace House.

As metro colleges and universities continue to close due to the coronavirus, we are fearing that some students will have no place to go. This situation could be due to:

-Homeless students
-Students who did not renew a lease with on-campus or off-campus due to a planned study abroad
-Students with a tough situation at home
-Students who can’t go home because they live abroad

How you can help: We would like to create a database of people interested in hosting well students from all of our schools in the Synod, not just metro Atlanta schools.

If you are interested in the possibility of hosting a displaced college student over spring break or perhaps longer, please fill out the form below. Right now, we are trying to find available hosts (nationwide) just in case.

ALL TENNESSEE 2018

122 youth and adults met November 10 & 11 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Hixson, Tennessee for All Tennessee. During the event youth from across Tennessee gathered to learn more about the "GODISNOWHERE" theme by participating in different activities throughout Saturday afternoon. Youth looked at where God was through an interactive Stations of the Cross activity, they also got to ask Pastor Ed Myers and Pastor Katherine Museus any question they wanted to ask, they learned about how we can be God's hands in the midst of disasters through the work of Lutheran Disaster Relief and put together hygiene kits for Lutheran World Relief. To finish out their service that day they moved mulch on to the church's playground. Worship started with a group of youth from Christ Kiswahili Lutheran Mission leading in song and during the confession participants were invited to take a piece of string to represent their confession and tie it on nails that formed "GODISNOWHERE" - a powerful way to see that God comes to us in the midst of our brokenness and as we communed together we saw God come once again in the body and blood of Christ. Special thanks to the volunteers of Trinity Lutheran Church for their hospitality and meals, as well as the ALL Tennessee planning team for their hard work putting it all together.
