This year our LCA General Convention of Synod will focus on the theme faith.freedom.future, with a special focus on future. So our Longest Lutheran Lunch in 2018 is all about children ... our future. It's time to start planning your event. We've put some ideas on the website, but we know you'll come up with plenty of your own as well. Make sure you register your event (you can do that on the website) so we can send you your party kit. If you need more of anything, this year you'll be able to order more promotional and party items from our online shop.
