Let's unpack the journey.
A group of our post-confirmation youth and adult chaperones recently returned from the Camino de Santiago in Spain. For a community like ours that values asking the hard questions and putting faith into action, their reflections are exactly what we need right now. They hiked 114 kilometers, tackled big concepts about religion, and experienced firsthand how God shows up in communities, strangers, and nature.
Swipe through the graphics to read their takeaways. As a congregation, giving young people the space to explore the world and wrestle with complex ideas is essential to who we are. This is how we support a faith that translates into authentic action out in the world.
Pastor David traveled as one of the chaperones and shared this reflection on the experience:
"This pilgrimage allowed me to see a tiny bit of the arc that is ministry: we point to the seed that the Spirit has sown in individuals, we trust that God waters them through our work, and then we watch them grow into what Jesus makes of them. As I observed our youth, I noticed that they are kind, thoughtful, faith-filled, fun young adults who will soon go out into the world and share Good News that God is Love."
Take a moment to read their words today. When you see these pilgrims at Holy Trinity, reach out and ask them about their trek. The experience is lived differently by each individual, and they have incredible stories to share.
