On Tuesday 11 through Thursday 13 October, Sabeel held its annual clergy retreat at the Sea of Galilee. 32 clergy participated in the retreat. The retreat built connections among the clergy and also among the wives of the church leaders. The retreat included a half-day workshop on developing sermons and discussions about the challenges that our Christian families are going through in Palestine/Israel (specifically the issue of divorce in our society), proper financial management, governance, and listening to the community.
