Imagine Yourself as God Created You
November - December 2008
ELCA Young Adult Ministry and ELCA Candidacy announce a family of resources for young adults around the questions we all ask ourselves: What do I like to do? What am I good at? What am I passionate about? What is needed in my community? How does my faith live and breathe every day?
An online social network at
www.imagineyourself.ning.com has been created for young adults asking these questions. It’s like facebook, only deeper; a place to share your story!
Visit
www.elca.org/imagineyourself where you can meet people like Elizabeth, a young professional engaged in faith, family and community and Eric, a diaconal minister doing hospital chaplaincy. Here you can read other profiles of young adults who are asking those questions . . . and living the answers.
Mailer-sized pieces we like to call “invitations” introduce Elizabeth, a family practice lawyer; Rozella, a grad student in urban youth ministry; Kristina, an ELCA Young Adult in Global Mission volunteer and Pete, a parish pastor. Sharing
Imagine Yourself with a young adult is a great way to start a conversation. One parish is using this small resource with new members as a way to introduce life in the ELCA and the Lutheran understanding of vocation. A label area allows you to personalize the “invitation” with your own contact information.
