St. Peter's Lutheran Active Teens (SPLAT!)

About SPLAT... 

LUTHERAN YOUTH ORGANIZATION at St. Peter's ministers to high school youth. Each Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. (except during the Summer) the youth gather for study and discussion with their leaders. Throughout the year LYO members sponsor congregational events, community events, and other fund raisers for their projects and trips.

 

Thirteen St. Peter's high school youth along with Mike and Marietta Williams and Pastor and BJ Henry
attended the 2009 ELCA National Youth Gathering in New Orleans July 21-26, 2009. They joined 37,000 other Lutheran youth and sponsors at the event.
The evening gatherings were world-class productions with speakers of national stature and music from leading groups.

Three days of service projects involving approximately 12,000 youth ferried around on 300 buses each day meant that three years worth of hurricane reclamation work and other service was accomplished in three days.

We worked in the colonias of Matamoros, Mexico,
and stopped in South Padre before returning to Marble Falls.

LYO Planning

  • A major event each year is the annual LYO trip.  The group is on a three year schedule:

Year 1: A ski trip during spring break, usually to New Mexico

Year 2: A service project involving travel. In the past they have gone to Taos, New Mexico, where they helped build a habitat for humanity house. (They still had time for fellowship, Bible study and worship, and white water rafting!)

Year 3: Every three years the group travels to the ELCA National Youth Gathering. These events are held in a large city and attract over 30,000 Lutheran Youth. In 2006 the National Youth Gathering was held in San Antonio, Texas. See the pictures below!
