LYON Assembly Overview

Mark Your Calendars:

The next LYON Assembly will take place November 16-18, 2012 at the Holiday Inn & Convention Center in Kearney.  Guest musicians will be Lost and Found, and service learning throughout the Kearney area is back by popular demand (and because serving is what we DO as the church).

The 2011 LYON Assembly theme was Extreme Faith Makeover.  Highlights included:

• The opening night’s “citizens with the saints” concert by AGAPE and Rachel Kurtz where $2,484.49 was raised for ELCA World Hunger!
• Worship with the band Tangled Blue.
• Workshops on malaria awareness, yoga and community building.
• Closing worship where an offering raised $505.30 for the ELCA Malaria Campaign!
• Equipping Youth Ministry Leaders training.

Check out a YouTube video of highlights here.

This year an event was also held in the Panhandle of Nebraska in conjunction with the LYON Assembly.  This event, “Extreme Faith Makeover-Western Nebraska Edition”, was held at Sullivan Hills.  Youth and their adult leaders built community together, served in the community of Lodgepole and learned about the amazing food pantry ministry in the area.

Plan now to attend the 2012 LYON Assembly where you can see old friends, meet new ones, serve, learn, sing, dance and worship.
