Appreciation
This month's team building activity touches on appreciating what we have. This activity requires us to draw a self-portrait using any parts of our bodies except our hands. Check out the photos below on how the pilgrims did it.

Challenges Faced by Christian Youth
The speaker for this month's session, Eddy spoke on the many challenges faced by Christian youths in terms of pre-marital sex, drugs, smoking and music.

Fundraising
The pilgrims were given updates on the fundraising activities that have been carried out and will be carried out. The statement of accounts were also presented during the Announcement & Updates session.

Thank You!
A BIG thank you to all pilgrims who attended the retreat, to our speaker, Eddy, to our team-building person, Gina and to St Isidore group for conducting the Praise & Worship sessions.

Below are photos (and there are some embarassing ones!) of the retreat.
