La Cañada Presbyterian Church: 2012 Men’s Retreat “Give Me a Break!” March 30

Beach, golf, bike riding, or just taking a nap. It’s waiting for men at the Pierpont Inn in Ventura. Far enough away to get away. Close enough to get there Friday evening.

But it’s not just the fun. It’s the nourishment of everyone’s spirit needs. Rev. Dan Baumgartner, Senior Pastor of Hollywood Presbyterian Church, will help attendees open themselves to God, along with the guys who are there to share their stories and lives together. Dan has repeatedly led men’s retreats with topics ranging from “Work & Faith” to “Sexual Purity in an Impure World.” Rev. Dan knows what it is like in the business grind through his 10 years as a Director with CARQUEST Auto Parts. He had plenty of time to reflect on that life while at Princeton Theological Seminary. Then Rev. Dan spent 14 years as a pastor before starting at Hollywood Presbyterian in November 2010. Dan and his wife Anne have three children—sons Jesse and Nick and daughter Dana. As a newly empty nester, Dan has more time now to run, bike and hike. He also is a voracious reader.

For those interested to join email Gloria Hill at gloria@lacanadapc.org today or register on Sunday mornings in the NartheX. It will be a great time. Face it. Everyone needs a break and spiritual nourishment.
