Indiana District At the LCMS Youth Gathering

at the LCMS Youth Gathering

The Indiana District Youth Gathering is an annual high school youth gathering, sponsored by the Indiana District of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. It's purpose is to provide an opportunity for youth to gathering in fellowship, worship Jesus, grow in their faith, and use their God-given gifts for service.

Let's Tip The Boat, Indiana District!

Our time together is less than one month away!

The music, fellowship, and fun on the boat are going to be an amazing start to your participants' time at the Gathering, but let's be honest, I am excited about eating a New Orleans-style meal on a ferryboat!

It's not an expectation of you and your church, BUT if your congregation is ready, willing, and able, we would LOVE to TIP THE BOAT!  We know that some churches make it a priority to tip the maids, waiters, etc. all throughout the week, and we wanted to make the opportunity not only available to you, but as clean and compact as possible.....

SO, are you interested in TIPPING THE BOAT?!

If so, please

  1. REPLY to bgrelle@hclc.info with the amount you are willing to tip.

  2. Send that amount via check to Diane Ottinger at LCMS Indiana District, 1145 Barr Street, Fort Wayne, IN 46802.  Let's memo the check: TIP THE BOAT!

We suggest a 15% - 20% per person, but there is no requirement.
