On the weekend of April 29 to May 1, 2022, members of the Nashville Korean Church in Tennessee gathered at Cedars of Lebanon State Park for a Spring Spiritual Retreat. The event was attended by church members of all ages, and carried the theme, “Way to Jesus.”
Nashville Korean Church holds spiritual retreats twice a year — once in the fall and once in the spring. According to Seokeon Yoon, pastor, this event is an opportunity to connect with one another in a worship setting.
“So, [the church members] know and understand each other better, and we can also come close to Jesus,” Yoon said.
Some of the activities of the retreat included a nature hike, prayer by the bonfire, Bible treasure hunt, and game night.
More than 50 people attended the Spiritual Spring Retreat. To accommodate the Korean and English-speaking groups, two speakers were invited for the service: Cho, retired pastor, spoke for the Korean group, and Nacho Silverio, Madison Campus pastor, preached for the English group.
“This was a great chance to bridge the generational gap between our younger and older [church members],” said Marcus Min, elder at Nashville Korean. “We want to have a family atmosphere and uplift the spiritual yearning of our members.”
