Jesus, Justice Jazz: News from the ELCA Youth Gathering
We asked the young women among the more than 37,000 youth and adults who descended on New Orleans this past July, "How do your relationships with other women bless your life?” Their responses were insightful and inspiring. And you know what? They look to the older women in their families and church families as role models. You can read many of their responses on our blog.
 
They also wrote their responses on postcards that were mailed to 800 congregational units of Women of the ELCA. Maybe your CU will get one.
