This year for CYF 2012, as we welcomed the 100 Wells Tour - a challenge to help raise money for wells and clean drinking water families in need in the U.S. and abroad in partnership with the ELCA 2012 Youth Gathering and ELCA World Hunger.  In addition to the 100 Wells Tour Concert, CYF will included a celebration gathering, interactive workshops, games and Outreach Extravaganza all happening at Luther's campus.  The workshops were geared toward students in grades 9-12. This year's participants were able to run Luther's high ropes course as well (additional cost and waiver form required).    

The featured event of the day is the 100 Well Tour Concert, 7 p.m. in Luther College's Center for Faith and Life, with AGAPE*, Rachel Kurtz, and Lost and Found.  Whether you heard these musicians at New Orleans during the ELCA Youth Gathering or you heard them for the first time, the Church Youth Fest 2012 was a day of growth, challenge and renewal.
