Under the Shadow of the Cross

I attended the half day retreat today in the

Christian University 's Chapel of Brotherly Love.

It is shaped like a boat or ark.

The chapel hall is on the first floor with

the cross in the background.

The 20 foot high cross at the entrance

Brother P C preaching the Word

While waiting for the morning tea to be served

a group of students broke into songs of worship.

Group discussion on

1 Cor 2;14 - 3;9
The characteristics of 3 kinds of

people described in that passage

This was my discussion group led by

Dr Thomas Abraham (seated on the

extreme right) he is my younger brother in ChristView from the back

Notice the girls are seated on one side

and the boys on the other.A culturally accepted thing where singles are

meeting in church.

More friends

Lunch was served in the garden in the

pleasant afternoon sun.

The Pastor 's family who gave me a ride in their car

was staying back for the evening revival meeting,so I stayed back with them after informing my Mom and making sure she would

be OK all by herself at home.

The Pastor 's family and I went to a

friends home to rest.They gave us their house keys and we relaxed in their

large house while they were away.

This is a view of their back garden and lawn.

It overlooks the Yamuna river.

The next door neighbour , RJ has these

ferocious German Shepherds.

RJ and family are also our friends and

he is like my elder brother in Christ.
I was glad for that fence between the dogs and me.
