Last weekend, Marissa and Aly attended Church of the Brethren Youth and Young Adult Ministries Young Adult Conference at Camp Blue Diamond! In addition to having fun with friends, enjoying camp, and sharing about BVS and Church of the Brethren FaithX, Aly also led a BVS themed escape room! They also found a throwback BVS brochure...

If you're sad you missed the escape room, not to worry! We will be bringing it to Annual Conference and NYC this summer!

Our volunteer spotlight this week is Unit 338 BVSer Lydia Neuhauser! Lydia is serving with the Asian Rural Institute in Tochigi, Japan.

Lydia works as a farm and office manager at ARI. On the farm, she works with chickens, crops, and veggies every day. In the office, Lydia is developing a report for regenerative organic certifications for the farm. She is enjoying building community, working hard, and connecting with the land. Thank you, Lydia, for your service!
