Young Adult Conference to be held over Memorial Day weekend.

The annual Church of the Brethren Young Adult Conference will be held on May 23-25 at Camp Swatara in Bethel, Pa., on the theme, "The Journey of Discipleship" (1 Peter 3:8-15). The event is sponsored by the denomination’s Youth and Young Adult Ministry for young adults ages 18-35.

The conference will revolve around questions of discipleship, such as, "What does it mean in today’s culture to be a disciple of Jesus? What does it mean in terms of our daily decisions and lifestyle?" Activities will include worship with sermons by Greg Laszakovits, Dana Cassell, and Katie O’Donnell, as well as workshops, music, campfires, a coffeehouse, and recreation.

Cost is $90 prior to April 15, $100 from April 16-22, and $110 on May 23. Those registering before April 15 may request that a letter be sent to their congregations asking for a $50 scholarship. Online registration is now available at www.brethren.org/yac09 or contact Bekah Houff in the Youth and Young Adult Ministry Office at rhouff_gb@brethren.org or 800-323-8039 ext. 281.
