Our speaker, Brenda Bos, serves as the pastor of Christ Lutheran Church[Offsite Link] in San Clemente, California. Her congregation is known for its weekly beach service and its homeless outreach. Before being ordained in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America in 2014, Brenda worked in television production for eighteen years, including six years as a production manager/producer for sitcoms. “Being a television producer was actually terrific training to become a pastor,” Bos explains. “I helped creative people do their best work. Now I help everyday people become their best selves by connecting them to God’s love. Television showed me how to communicate effectively and emotionally. I learned storytelling and humor from that work. My congregation really appreciates that!” Brenda lives in Pasadena with her wife Janis. They adopted their adult son when he was seventeen and have recently welcomed a granddaughter.

Check-in at Mt Cross begins Saturday at 10:30. Lunch is served at noon.

Three sessions with Brenda are planned:

  •   1:00pm Saturday
  • 10:30am Sunday (worship)
  •   4:30pm Sunday

Each day will have time for fellowship, food, speakers, and games in the beautiful, rustic setting of Mt. Cross Camp, in Felton.
