As an ambassador for the city of Houston, I want to welcome the ELCA Youth Gathering in June of 2018. As I began working with the ELCA staff in preparation for bringing the Gathering to Houston, I traveled to New Orleans for a day in 2012 to see what it was all about. The excitement and spirit of the kids were contagious. I then knew this would be an amazing experience in Houston. Working with Molly, Donna, and the rest of the staff has been a wonderful experience for me, and I feel very much a part of the team.
I am excited that over 30,000 youth will be coming to Houston to see what I love so much about the city: the Museum of Natural Science, the zoo, Buffalo Soldier Museum, free concerts at Miller Outdoor Theatre… and that’s just a tidbit. Oh, and I do love to eat: barbeque, Tex-Mex, Asian, Mexican… you can get it all.
I am not just excited about what you can see and do. I am also excited about what you are going to leave here, the communities you will help, and the lives you will change.
When I heard the theme for Houston, “This Changes Everything,” your presence in the city will do just that.
See you soon!
