                                                             YOUTH AND YOUNG WOMEN

Young Women see visions and act upon these visions. Our future and the future of our organization is in the hands of SESLYO (Southeastern Synod Lutheran Youth Organization) and SESYALL (Southeastern Synod Young Adults Living Lutheran): two fantastic organizations. Yet many of us do not know who they are and the many gifts they have to share. These young women are primed, ready, and most importantly, eager to engage with more experienced leaders. It rests upon our shoulders to seek, invite, and hear them. To our circle meetings or cluster meetings.

What is your cluster or congregational doing to reach out to young women?
