17 November 2016 | Bečići, Montenegro [Natasha Mirilov]
The Trans-European Division (TED) leaders and South England Conference (SEC) workers, ministers and directors shared a Sabbath together in Bečići, Montenegro on Friday and Saturday, 11-12 November 2016.
Over 160 SEC workers, gathering for their Workers Meeting from 6-13 November, and TED the Executive Committee, conducting their annual Year-end Meetings 11-15 November, celebrated the sanctity of the Sabbath and all the benefits that came with the restful day.
This was an opportunity not only to reconnect with friends and establish new bonds, but also to rejuvenate in the wonderful surroundings and superb hotel services at Hotel Splendid. It was obvious to notice the positive interaction between the two groups leading the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
Friday vespers started with Juan Prestol-Puesán, General Conference Treasurer, describing the calling of ministers, leaders and individuals. The two Sabbath services saw Derek Morris, president of Hope Channel, firing up the church leaders to tell the truth about Jesus and to long for a ministry filled with miracles.
It did not take long for attendees to collaborate and create a choir to lead the congregation through the powerful theme song, “Facing a Task Unfinished”.
With both groups gathering at the venue to discuss the future of the church and to be moved to carry on God’s work, it was a blessing to see attendees admitting to be re-inspired after the Sabbath worships. [tedNEWS]
