The tAble is a pre-event for youth living with disabilities and their caregivers, celebrating the many gifts and identities each person brings and affirming that all belong fully in the body of Christ.
During the tAble, participants build community through shared meals, worship and creative learning experiences that center accessibility, belonging and leadership. Youth are encouraged to explore how God calls them to live out their faith in their daily lives and in the church.
Meals are included during the event, and afterward participants will move directly into the main Gathering. There is no registration fee, yet congregations will have to pay for the hotel nights during the tAble. There is a nonrefundable hotel deposit of $50 that is required at the time of registration and will be applied to housing costs. There iCaregivers will receive a waived registration fee for the ELCA Youth Gathering.
