You are most welcome to join us when we start again on the 7th of September.

Summer retreat review

Last weekend the HIM group held its annual summer retreat. Once again it was a Friday-Saturday event. This year we went to Jinhae, staying at a local church there, next to the STX shipyards. 

After settling in on Friday afternoon some people took a walk to a nearby island at low tide, played Danny’s trivia contest in teams, and went on a scavenger hunt.  Dominic also led the group in focusing on the word "retreat" – looking back over the last year at our challenges and blessings. At dinnertime the second wave of people arrived. We had another short praise & devotions session, and Kyunga passed around some small group discussion questions.  Some people went out again for some fresh air, and others went to "bed" (or shall we say "floor"?). 

On Saturday we took a short ferry ride to an island beach getaway. Many had fun swimming, playing soccer with umbrellas, and enjoying a nice barbecue lunch. We finally packed up and returned to Busan and enjoyed pizza for dinner. 

It was a successful and enjoyable trip. There was no rain, illness, or serious injuries. Best of all, we could enjoy a meaningful time of fellowship together in the Lord.

Spread the love at Soyang orphanage

This coming Saturday, July the 16th, we are going to visit Soyang Childrens Home.  

Soyang orphanage is home to about 60 children from kindergarten to university students. They all need to have some fun now and again and fun is what we intend to give them. We encourage you to join us as we give these kids the attention they may not always receive but definitely deserve. 

We will be meeting at Hadan subway station, exit 1 at 12pm. Transport to the orphanage has been arranged so please try to be on time. 

These kids almost never eat junk food or candy so if possible please bring a packet of something sweet, I'm sure it will make their day even more special. This is the first time we have organized an event here and with your help we can make a lasting positive impression on these young minds. 

If you have any problems on the day please contact Candice ~ 010-8953-4854

We look forward to seeing you there!
