ALL TENNESSEE 2021

Saturday, November 13, 2021

10am-12noon ET / 9-11am CT

via ZOOM

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

especially those from Tennessee

We will explore what it means to SHARE OUR GOSPEL STORY together by gathering online and learning how God is active in our lives, even when we don't realize it!

And this is what sets our SOUL ON FIRE!

DO YOU USE ZOOM FOR SUNDAY WORSHIP? If so, note that ZOOM is making security changes that are taking effect on PALM SUNDAY including requiring a password for previously scheduled meetings. If your meeting URL already includes a very long string of LETTERS after "password=" you should be OK. If you are using their old-style URL which is just a string of 9 NUMBERS only, you need to resend out your meeting link. Some congregations are sending out the entire Zoom meeting invitation info, including the phone numbers for calling in, and the assigned password, just to make sure no one is shut out.

Waiting Rooms will also be turned ON by default. Make sure someone in your meeting is the official "host" of the meeting.

Here is a link to the Zoom updated password information page: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360041408732

All TN 2019 took place at Trinity LC, Tullahoma, TN

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.
