Our annual Victoria Day Long Weekend Congregation retreat was held at Nottawasaga Inn Resort from May 21-23, 2011 with the presence and blessings of H.G. Bishop Angaelos. The retreat theme was “Living in Christ” based on Philippians 1:21 “For to me, to live is Christ”. The discussions focused on practical ways to live in today’s world while witnessing and reflecting our faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. Dr. Yousry Armanios started with a presentation entitled “The Lord, my Healer”, followed by a discussion by Fr. Pishoy on “Adoring the Bride of Christ”, “Not ashamed of the Gospel” by Fr. Daniel, and “Rejecting Darkness” and “Living in the Light” by H.G. Bishop Angaelos. There were also special programs for youth, children, and angels. The families enjoyed the beautiful resort activities with all its outdoor and indoor facilities. We praise God for the success of this retreat through which many new friendships and fellowship were initiated. We also welcomed many new church members who joined this retreat for the first time.
