Hunger-Thon

Hunger-Thon overnight lock-in and service day focuses on keeping the vigil of Pentecost though worship, Word and prayer overnight.  This is different from our typical events and is meant to give a more meaningful, deeper faith experience for youth than other events provide.  Activities include Lectio Divina, music reflections, a prayer labyrinth, a continuous reading of the New Testament throughout the overnight, and of course games, mixers and more.  This event is held at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in downtown Buffalo, NY, a cathedral-like setting that adds to the atmosphere of this event.

After the overnight, we head out into the community of downtown Buffalo the next day in service to our neighbors.

All the while, we are fasting ourselves to get a little "taste" of hunger ourselves, breaking our fast with a community picnic and worship to wrap up the event.
