CLAY

CLAY

The Canadian Lutheran Anglican Youth Gathering (CLAY) will be taking place from August 21-24 in Saskatoon, SK. To learn more about CLAY 2025, CLICK HERE.

Theme

Rooted and rising. From our roots laid down for us, from our past, to rising up and putting our best foot forward, and standing up for what we believe in. Like the rising of the sun in the east, each day starts with a light glow at the break of the day, to the flourishing beams at midday. As the hours pass becoming more powerful.

Each time you rise, your roots will become greater and stronger. Like a community, with just a few people, it would not survive, but the more roots, the more people in the community, the more likely it will thrive. Just like in the parable of the mustard seed, the mustard seed starts as the smallest seed. Growing its roots, to rise into a bright yellow flower. Where will you rise to? How deep will your roots go?

Fun fact: did you know that Saskatchewan is the world’s number one exporter of mustard seeds?
