Homecoming draws 2,000

Musical performers during the Sabbath service included the Black Alumni of Loma Linda choir.

Described as a “oneness experience” by an attendee, the first-annual united homecoming event for Loma Linda University Health hit the intended mark of bringing together alumni from all eight schools, LLU-La Sierra graduates, and employees past and present of the university and hospitals.

Two thousand individuals attended the special Sabbath services March 4, with other events throughout the March 2-6 weekend drawing large crowds as well. The activities included a kickoff party, talent show, 5K, continuing education courses, vespers commemorating Loma Linda’s history and more.

“It was truly a great weekend,” an attendee said. “I can't wait to see how this event will grow each year and benefit the culture of [Loma Linda University Health]."
