Presenter: Brian Peterson

Given the scientifically-oriented culture within which we live and engage in God's mission, we have an obligation to help our young people understand that what science teaches us about the universe is not only comprehensible within the context of faith, but can also nurture a healthy and faithful wonder at what it means to be part of, and stewards of, God's creation.

Watch this FREE webinar live by registering here. The recording of this "Wonder" webinar can be found at the NE MN Synod Discipleship Challenge website the next day - along with other "Wonder" webinars.   

Urban Plunge  
Urban Plunge is an overnight, Augsburg student-led, faith-based experience for Middle and High School youth groups. Come to learn about and explore the gifts and challenges of our Cedar-Riverside neighborhood in Minneapolis by connecting with community members and using  The Sermon on the Mount as a guiding message.

Interfaith Bridge Building  

Interfaith Bridge Building is a youth program which draws from our community's rich diversity to foster interfaith relationships. Congregations book a Saturday to explore interfaith work through a Christian lens, visit a local mosque, and engage in conversation with our Muslim partners.

Join hundreds of youth workers from across the ELCA for renewal, education and networking. The "E" is much more than a conference! It's space to be stretched, it's worship, it's inspiring speakers, it's learning from colleagues across the country, it's sharing your insights with others, it's informative and transformative, it's the annual gathering of ministries and ministers for conversations around children, youth and family ministry.

How are you WONDERING together this fall? This year's Discipleship Challenge invites you to WONDER together for at least 10 minutes every time you gather, and we have new resources posted to help you do this! The Practice Discipleship curriculum, Wonder, has been adapted to use as five minute devotions, 10-15 minute discussions, 30-45 minute session, or use the original curriculum for a one hour discussion/study. Webinars from the curriculum can be paused for group discussion as questions are posed. Or use the writer videos to initiate discussion. So many options to WONDER together!
