Church Retreat

Our church found this place for annual retreat over carnival weekend. Location was outside town some 20 km. at the Hotel Fazenda, gradually being renovated for such events.
Children were a part of the retreat too.
Was good to participate, sharing observations and ideas during group Bible study. The film, The Village, was a spring board for discussion. Is the church isolated from society? If so, how can we break down walls and be authentic and reaching our world for Christ.

Time to relax between sessions with our 'family' group.
As they say in Portuguese, the retreat valeu! It was very worthwhile. Now it's time to begin our new semester at the seminary so will update you about that later on in March.
