Our high school youth group was unlike anything you would see today. It consisted of all of our Lutheran confessing youth who had made their public affirmation of faith after two years of Biblical studies combined with the study of Lutherâs Small Catechism. The youth came from at least five Chicago area high schools. We each had our school friends, our neighborhood friends and our church friends. It was a rare youth who had a car. One youth worked on his car as long as I knew him and his faithful girlfriend watched him work. I never saw the car run.
