From January 3-7, the Lutheran Church of Koltushi, Leningrad Oblast, hosted a youth retreat entitled “The Journeys of the Apostle Paul.” The retreat gathered church members from Moscow, Koltushi, Segezha, Toksovo, and St. Anne’s Church of St. Petersburg.
The young people discussed the apostle’s life and epistles, the trials early Christians and Paul himself went through, the example of their faith and personal relationship with God. The program also included an arts & crafts session, singing, playing and informal fellowship.
