GYP Convention - Defending the Faith without Offending It (Oct. 7-10)

| Tuesday, August 10, 2010 | No comments.

It’s time again for the annual Diocese of Los Angeles and Hawaii Graduates and Young Professionals Convention! Graduate students and young professionals from California and the rest of the United States come together to grow in knowledge, spirituality, and fellowship. This year we have some very important speakers coming to discuss with us how to defend our faith without offending our faith. With persecution of the church growing all over the world and where our own faith is tested daily, this topic cannot come at a more pertinent time. Join us as we learn what it means to carry our cross, to boldly stand up for our faith, and to be brave and strong without forgetting about love. We look forward to seeing you!

The Amazing Coptic Race, hosted by the Graduates and Young Professionals, is a witty and unforgettable scavenger hunt that will lead you and your team through some of the hot spots of Orange County.

Throughout the Race, your team will have to decode clues, play games, solve puzzles, and snap photos of key locations in order to earn points and advance through checkpoints. It will be a day filled with fun, food, fellowship and laughter.  AND you’ll have some photos to commemorate the whole thing.

The day will begin with the celebration of the Divine Liturgy at Archangel Michael Church in Santa Ana. 

Anyone over the age of 18 is welcome to join. For more information or to register, please visit us here:
