The 2019 National Youth Gathering was an amazing trip filled with worship and service for our Trinity-Downtown members! Held every three years, the LCMS Youth Gathering provides thousands of youth and adults the opportunity to join together as a community of God’s people and learn more about Jesus Christ. During their five days at the gathering, the attendees spent time together in God’s word and fellowship with others.
