Angelus Oaks, California, USA—The Western North American Union held a warm and inspiring camp meeting, hosted by the Southern California Conference, from June 20-29. With approximately 100 attendees from California, Arizona, Washington, and Nevada, the gathering served as a meaningful spiritual retreat and time of renewal for all present.
This year’s theme, “Thus Far the Lord Has Helped Us” (1 Samuel 7:12), was especially significant as we marked the 1925–2025 centennial anniversary of the Reform Movement.
