    当然，还有丰富多彩的球类比赛 ，儿童看顾，宵夜等。

 

    在英文部，我们设有专题来服事社青、大学生与青少年的需要；我们也邀请到CEF来教导我们的儿童们。

 

    请与我们一起为这次的营会祷告，为我们将邀请的人祷告，愿我们能邀请八百至一千人来参加此聚会。 期待能在此丰盛的聚会里见到你和你的全家，让我们一起为主兴起发光。

 

主恩常在

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Praise the Lord! Our annual Florida Chinese Christian Summer Retreat is about to begin. Churches from different cities in Florida will gather in the name of the Lord to worship, to fellowship, and to bond in love.

The theme for 2023 is [Arise and Shine]. This is from the Scripture Isaiah 60:1 “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you.” (ESV)

The keynote speaker for the Chinese congregation is Rev. Boli Zhang, and the keynote speaker for the English congregation is Rev. Danny Lee. We have 6 workshops for young adults, college students and youth. We also have invited CEF to teach our children.

We also have small group time, morning devotion, and evening prayers, as well as activities, sports competitions, childcare, and late-night snacks.

Please join us in prayer for this retreat and the people we will invite. Our prayer is to invite 800 to 1000 people to attend this retreat. Looking forward to seeing you and your family in this retreat. Let us arise and shine for Jesus!

In Christ,

CCSRFL Committee of Chinese Christian Church of Jacksonville
