Lutheran Youth Fellowship—

The Lutheran Youth Fellowship (LYF) brings together high school youth of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Synod. It provides an organized arena in which synod youth can voice their concerns and opinions.

The Lutheran Youth Fellowship meets in assembly annually. The assembly is held in November. All youth of the synod and their adult advisors are invited to attend and to participate.

Check back later for information about the 2010 LYF Assembly.

The LYF Board includes four officers and elected representatives from each of the nine synod mission districts, plus appointed representatives from the multicultural and definitely-abled communities. LYF is one of the ministries for, with, and by youth that is coordinated by the Worship and Spirituality Ministry Team.
