Youth Return from Mission Trip to Mexico
At the beginning of August, 13 participants ventured to Juarez Mexico to build a home for a young family with a one year old daughter. Part of our high school youth headed to Colorado on Aug. 3rd. They connected with Rainbow Trail Lutheran Camp located near Hillside and venturde on to Mexico via automobile.
The group crossed the border on Monday and began building the modest home working alongside the soon-to-be owners. Working Monday through Wednesday for a combined 28 hours, our youth and youth leaders completed the 252 square foot home. It was dedicated on Thursday morning. The youth toured Juarez on Thursday and crossed over into the USA on Friday.

GSLC Youth Participate in Baltimore Mission Trip
GSLC and St. Philip youth ministries joined together to serve the Baltimore area this past month. The group spent time in Baltimore working with Lutheran Mission Society, an interdenominational ministry between the ELCA and LCMS. The group worked at a couple of the compassion centers throughout the city by cleaning up, painting, and preparing to expand one of the store centers. The group also worked with Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church helping to convert some storage space into a new youth room for the church. On Friday the group toured the Luther Center near the inner harbor, which is home to the national offices of Lutheran World Relief, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services, and Lutheran Services in America. In addition to all their hard work the youth also had a chance to take in a baseball game at the Historic Orioles Park at Camden Yards and tour the National Aquarium. The GSLC participants were Brooklynn Adkins, Kristyn Adkins, Rachel Boyce, Lindsey Lewis, Colleen Bove, Adam Vitek, Kristian Lee, Erin McCarty, Liz Sloop, and Dan Burris. Stay tuned for more photos
