This year our retreat theme was “Commissioned.”  Our goal was that our Arise EM members would be able to discern their God-given calling in both their careers and studies.  Our retreat speaker, Brian Kim, was a former pastor at Newsong Church for 12 years before making a career change out of ministry into the field of leadership consulting.  He is currently the CEO/Founder of Verve Consulting and Coaching Group, where his primary work is consulting and counseling CEOs and leaders of non-profit organizations, ministries and corporations.  Brian blessed us by sharing his painful experiences as a leader in the past, while showing us how the Gospel heals and establishes our identity as children of God.  He stressed in the importance of understanding this identity before discerning how to live for God in our careers and studies. After establishing this identity, Brian guided us through practical steps in order to find out how we were specially designed to glorify God through our lives.

 

In addition to our theme with its sermons and seminars, our members were able to enjoy great food, fellowship and intimate small groups.  Each small group had time to intimately share in discussion and accountability after each worship session, while competing against other groups through skits and games.   Each group was also assigned to cook a certain meal together, which also provided a chance to serve together.  Over all, the retreat was a great opportunity to grow closer together as a church family, while being reminded of who we are as God’s children.

We also want to say a special thank you to our elders and deacons who have visited us and blessed our ministry with Korean BBQ.  Special appreciation to: 조석일 장로님, 조영일 권사님, 박광수집사님, 박행순집사님, 송현숙집사님, 한현미집사님.
