Good afternoon,

My name is Ben Sievert, and I serve as the Director of Youth Ministry here at St. Lorenz.

While I know several of you, I look forward to opportunities to meeting your families and our middle school youth. One great way for your child to be involved with our youth ministry is by attending the upcoming Michigan District Jr High Youth Gathering, which takes place July 28-30 right here in Frankenmuth. These youth gatherings bring together over 500 middle schoolers from all over the state for three days of faith building and fun. Last year, we took over 100 students from St. Lorenz alone, and I hope your student will join us this year for another great gathering.

Some of you have experienced this before and you are ready to register right away. Others may want more information. You’ll find FAQ’s below and the registration link. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Ben Sievert

Director of Youth Ministry

Jr. High Youth Gathering

Alien Fellowship. No, we’re not going to visit Area 51 or open any secret government documents on UFOs. Instead, we’re going to discover just how alien we sometimes seem as followers of Jesus Christ to those who do not know Him. Although we’re aliens in this world, we’re not alone. We’re part of a fellowship that is tighter and stronger than any ever written about because Jesus Christ is part of our fellowship! We might be aliens in this world, but our hope is out of this world!
