WATERLOO, Ont. – From August 23-25, 2024, members of the 2025 National Youth Gathering (NYG) committee visited the Kitchener-Waterloo area to meet in person and visit the site of next summer’s NYG. 

The committee visited Wilfrid Laurier University, where most of the gathering’s events will take place, as well as Bingemans, where the youth will have a choice between visiting the waterpark or spending time bowling and mini golfing. Committee members also worshiped at three different local congregations and asked for prayers and other support for the gathering. 

Gathering in person for the first time during the planning process also gave the committee the opportunity for devotions, prayer, fellowship, and productive meetings in a way that Zoom (while useful in many ways) does not. The committee is looking forward to their next in-person meeting in Waterloo from July 4-8, 2025, and hopes that you will join them!

NYG registration packages will be available in late September, and all youth (and their friends), leaders, and organizations connected to LCC are welcome. Adult volunteers are also welcome; the volunteers who have been known as iBods since 2007 will now be called Minions, but they will still be wearing the same bright yellow shirts. Part-time local volunteers are also welcome to help with small jobs and errands. Please contact the committee if you are interested in serving in some way!
