the tAble
July 13-16, Hilton Riverside

One of the pre-events to the Gathering, the tAble blesses and encourages young people who live with a wide range of physical, cognitive and emotional disabilities so that they might grow as wise, faithful and courageous witnesses.

The tAble is open to youth who are ages 14-18 or are engaged in a high school youth group or are enrolled in high school or the vocational education equivalent. Youth who attend the tAble must be accompanied by an adult companion. The adult companion will receive a waived registration fee to attend the 2024 Gathering alongside their young person.

We’re excited that for the 2024 Gathering cycle, the registration fee for the tAble will be waived for the first 200 people. Participants are encouraged to register for and attend the 2024 ELCA Youth Gathering immediately following if they are able.

In the video below, the Rev. Jonathan Vehar (he/him), director of the tAble, shares an invitation to be part of this faith-formation event.
