2013 Presbyterian Youth Triennium theme announced
“I AM” will focus on Jesus’ illustrations and instruction to his disciples
Louisville - Ministries with Youth, in the Office of Evangelism of the General Assembly Mission Council, is pleased to announce the theme for the 2013 Presbyterian Youth Triennium: “I AM.” Event participants will consider and explore the “I AM” statements of Jesus, as shared with the disciples and the early followers of Jesus, as well as the Hebrew understandings of God known simply as “I AM.” The deep connections between the divine “I AM” and the human “I am . . .” will carry the 2013 theme through the five-day event and back home with the youth who attend.” We are being called to help our youth and our congregations think about who we are as people of God, who is as reachable as a vine, as necessary as bread, and as longing for our presence as a good shepherd, says Gina Yeager-Buckley, Ministries with Youth associate and Triennium team leader.
