Young reformers worship together, share the joys and challenges of the past year, and discuss LWF Youth priorities for 2022. 

Youth are invited to join the Global Young Reformers Network during Advent.  

In this season we celebrate the Prince of Peace, God coming to us on Earth. With so much pain in the world today, part of our call as people of faith is to reflect the Peace of Christ to others. Peace is more than the absence of conflict. Having peace means our communities are spiritually healthy, sustainable and equitable.

During this gathering, youth will have an opportunity to build this peace by singing, praying and worshipping together. We will discuss the challenges we have faced this year and our hopes for 2022 – especially regarding the work of the Global Young Reformers Network.

Please join us online on 11 December at 2 PM CET.
