The tAble: A Haven for Youths with Disabilities

Amidst the spirited days preceding the ELCA Youth Gathering, a distinctive event unfolds, known as The tAble. While it may resonate with the same spirit of worship, service, and camaraderie as the Youth Gathering, The tAble has a unique heartbeat. It welcomes youth who navigate life with a disability.

Every participant carries a tapestry of personal stories, challenges, and victories, yet all converge on the common ground of their identity as children of God, created in their unique entirety. At The tAble, they find a sanctuary, surrounded by peers who deeply resonate with aspects of their journey that the wider world might not fully grasp.

Unfortunately, many eligible youths remain unaware of this incredible community. But with your voice amplifying its message, more can discover The tAble, where a spot eagerly awaits them. Dive deeper into this initiative at elca.org/gathering.
