Hangout 4 Hope Pastor Aaron Layne

Hear the sermon of Patricia Davenport, bishop of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Synod of the ELCA, offered at the 2022 ELCA Churchwide Assembly in Columbus, Ohio, which concluded on August 12 at the Greater Columbus (Ohio) Convention Center. 

When the ELCA National Youth Gathering was postponed and then canceled, the youth group at AdventELC was left to wonder how faith and fun were going to intersect with their summer. What the staff came up with was a MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR! While the parents and staff knew the destination, the youth had no idea!

Hear about their journey of faith, hope, and mishaps on this episode of Hangout 4 Hope.

In the face of mass shootings and tragedies in the world, what is the Good News? What does God call us to, as the people of God, in a time like this? Scripture can be helpful because it has a LOT to say about violence and protecting the most vulnerable among us.
