After three years of fundraising, with support from their church and communities, youth of Zion Lutheran Church and their sponsors attended the LCMS National Youth Gathering, July 7-14, 2022, in Houston, Texas.

Joining with 20,000 youth from across the United States for the gathering, the Zion Lutheran group spent half a day serving at the Houston Food Bank. The group also visited NASA, attended a Texas Stampede, joined Mass events in Minute Maid Park, visited sessions and Bible studies at GRB Convention Center, and shared many memorable activities and fun.
