Youth - You Matter Tour
Heather Ruesch is a National speaker promoting & continuing her “You Matter” Tour. She speaks specifically to youth and has been in numerous public & private schools, as well as many churches. Her husband is an LCMS pastor & she is already being a huge asset to the Michigan District (speaking at an all Pastor’s conference in recent years & she will be the keynote speaker at the Jr. High District Gathering June 2022). Grace Lutheran in Coopersville is inviting our youth to join in this event! This is a very exciting opportunity for youth 7th-12th grade. Heather will talk on our identity: how the world twists it and tells the false narrative that “they don’t matter, UNLESS…” (you name it). However, we have an identity rooted in Christ!! They matter. THAT identity (in Christ) is everything, and can mean EVERYTHING to the world around us. Please let Shannon Johnson know if your youth can attend this FREE event.
