the 2003 Atlanta Youth Gathering Website
Nine of our youth along with 3 adult chaperones will be attending the Atlanta Youth Gathering in July. There will be various fund raisers for this event through the Spring, please be supportive. The cost for each person is approximately $600.
I am because we are.
We are because Christ is.
The theme for the 2003 Gathering is Do Life! Ubuntu.
"Ubuntu" comes from the Bantu group of languages spoken in sub-Saharan Africa. It literally means “humanity.” It is a gift from the African culture to our North American Christian culture, for through the lens of ubuntu we can see a way to do life in such a way that God is glorified in and through our very humanness.
How do you pronounce "ubuntu"?
Most Americans will pronounce ubuntu with each "u" resembling the vowel sound in the words "who" or "boo." The accent is on the second syllable, oo-boon-too. If you lived in sub-Saharan Africa you would add a humming sound after the first "u": oom-boon-too.
