We celebrate an outstanding Young Adult Retreat April 24-26, where young adults from San Diego to Bakersfield (and as far away as Vancouver!) gathered at Loch Leven for a weekend of fellowship and renewal. Among the 25 retreaters were regular participants in regional life, long-lost friends of Loch Leven, and first-time attendees alike--and every one of them drew closer as family through worship and play.

Many thanks to the Young Adult Committee for their hard work planning the retreat, and to the Leadership Committee for generously sponsoring it. Given the success of our first retreat, expect to see another on the calendar next year!
