Attending the 2016 T3C Retreat in Guelph, Ontario

A beautiful weekend to be away from the big city!

Just like the Olympics, our church holds a retreat for the three congregations every four years.

This year, the Toronto Christian Community church retreat was held during the Canada Day long weekend at the University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario.

Johnston Hall, University of Guelph, Ontario

We met at the Rozanski Hall for our meetings

The University of Guelph was a perfect venue for the church retreat.


There were over six hundred people attending the event, many of whom were seniors as well as numerous young families with children.

We met at the Rozanski Hall for our meetings. While the adults attended the meetings, the children were looked after in a separate area with their own program.

The T3C retreat took place at University of Guelph during the Canada Day Weekend

This was our second time attending the church retreat and we enjoyed it tremendously! Being in a beautiful environment was important; having our room and board look after was great! The best part was listening to inspirational messages and receiving excellent biblical teaching from our great speaker - Rev.( Dr.) Stephen Lee !

Dr. Stephen Lee delivering his powerful & inspirational messages 

Where was I all these years? How come I never heard of his preaching before until this weekend?  I kicked myself for not knowing Rev. Lee sooner. All the great messages I have missed in the past!

Rev. Lee gave four messages in the retreat. He talked about Moses, David and Peter. I read and learned about some of these biblical people well, especially Moses and David. I even taught Sunday School many times to children about their stories.

But Rev. Lee opened our minds and brought our attention to things about these famous leaders that we never thought of before. He taught us how to ask questions and dive into the deeper meaning of the bible.

University Centre - where we enjoyed delicious meals and spent time getting to know people better 

U. of Guelph is a beautiful venue for retreats/ conferences

Another excellent experience we had at the three day Guelph retreat was the opportunity of making new friends and getting to know other members of the church.

Every Sunday when we go to church we only have a small amount of time talking to the people we know.

Delicious meals were served buffet style at the University Centre 

At the retreat and away from daily distractions, we had plenty of time enjoying delicious meals while conversing with the new friends we had just met! It was a refreshing experience!

The T3C Retreat provided opportunities to make new friends 

The retreat was a relaxing weekend for many of the participants!

It was a wonderful relaxing retreat for the participants as everything was so well planned and executed with all the details having been taken into consideration.










Thank you to the Summer Retreat Committee who has worked hard in organizing this event!

Loved it! Will definitely be there for the next retreat in 2020!!!
