Beach, golf, bike riding, or just taking a nap.  It’s waiting for you 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 your spirit needs.  Rev. Dan Baumgartner, Senior Pastor of Hollywood Presbyterian Church, will help us open ourselves 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.

Mark your calendars and contact Gloria Hill (gloria@lacanadapc.org)  today to register or register on Sunday mornings in the NartheX.  We are going to have a great time.  Face it. You need a break.  And spiritual nourishment.  Let’s do this.
