RECongress 2020 (#22)

RECongress Is Happening NOW!

The 2020 Los Angeles Religious Education Congress is underway, beginning with Youth Day on Thursday. And we had over 10,000 in attendance! And if you're attending RECongress this year, we ask that you take a few minutes to evaluate your experience of RECongress. We'd like to know what you especially liked ... as well as what could be improved.
