Welcome in Berekfürdő!

Are you joining us for the camp? Do you remember the camp of last year? During the last few weeks the Gazdagrét Reformed Church was bubbling with enthusiasm and preparation. This year even more people than last year would join the congregational camp in Berekfürdő, a small village 185 km east of Budapest: in total 160 people, 110 adults and no less than 50 children. The capacity of the conference center was not enough, therefore additional bed and breakfasts had to be rented.
For one week we will be together for a retreat, to hear talks in the morning on Spiritual Growth by Pastor András Lovas, followed by a time of solitude and small prayer groups.
The afternoons are set aside to enjoy the famous local spa and swimming pool opposite the street from the conference center. It is a time of relaxation, of informal conversations and getting to know each other better, and off course: to swim or to for those who are afraid of water: join an excursion in the neighbourhood. I decided to take the advise of one of my doctors serious and use the opportunity to go daily for a good swim. This afternoon I made a good start. I was wonderful!!
In the evenings Rev. Eszter Dani will teach us about Listening prayer.

Pray for Eszter and András and for the small group leaders.
