Serbia United Methodist Women's Retreat

August 13 - 16 at Betel Retreat Center -
The theme of this year's retreat was "Seeking treasure" as found in Luke 12:31 "Seek first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added to you."

can you read this program?

I certainly found great treasure in fellowship with these wonderful women! Seven different language groups were represented at this retreat - Serbian, Slovak, Hungarian, Macedonian, German, Spanish and English!


Most songs were sung in Serbian but on this video
you will hear singing in Spanish by Lorna playing the guitar whose homeland is Chile, and she is joined by a woman singing in Macedonian and a few in the crowd singing Serbian!
