With heads bowed, ELCA volunteers prayed.
“Whatever we’re engaged in, let it be an act of worship.”
“Even today, even in the midst of last minute planning….”
“Wherever we find ourselves… let it be an act of worship.”
The 300 volunteers are leaders of dozens of work projects across New Orleans to help with Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts.
They gathered one last time to pray before the 2009 Youth Gathering begins on Wednesday in New Orleans. Some 37,000 youth and adults are expected to help in projects across the area.
“While we’re here in New Orleans, let’s worship God in all that we do and all that we say.”
“[Even] If we find ourselves at a work site and the tools aren’t there.”
“Let’s let everything we do be an act of worship.”
