Fall EDLYA retreat

COBOURG, Ont.  –  East District Lutheran Young Adults (EDLYA) hosts four retreats a year at various churches in Lutheran Church–Canada’s East Region. This year’s Fall Retreat was hosted by St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Cobourg from October 18-20, 2024. 

Rev. Dr. Kevin Fast gave a presentation called “That’s Catholic,” offering a study in the history, meaning, and use behind the traditions of the catholic church. 

The ladies of St. Paul’s sat in on the presentation, and provided a lunch for the group between sessions. This wasn’t the only way the women of the East Region showed their support—funds totalling $207 were raised through an offering at the Fall Rally of the LWML Toronto Zone held at Grace Lutheran Church in Oshawa, in support of EDLYA (and the group says thanks!).  

There was also an outing to the local beach on Saturday. It was chilly, but warm enough for participants to get a game of beach football going. There were also lots of flat stones perfect for rock-skipping and stacking.

EDLYA offers a warm farewell to Patrick and Michelle as they resign from the board, as they looked forward to getting married in January. The group welcomed new president, Chris, and food coordinator, Eva, both from Kitchener/Waterloo.  

The EDLYA team invites you to encourage the young adults in your congregation to attend upcoming retreats and get connected. Learn more at edlya.ca.
