NCJCCF Retreat
The annual Northern California Japanese Christian Church Federation (NCJCCF) Retreat was held at the Zephyr Point Conference Center in Lake Tahoe July 21 through July 26.
Our guest speaker was the Rev. Michael Yoshii. His presentation reflected on the Spirituality in War and Peace and its impacts to each of our lives, from WWII / Internment; the Vietnam War; to today’s conflicts in the Middle East.
The forty-five attendees from Wesley UMC-San Jose, SJUMC-Sacramento, United Japanese Christian Church-Clovis, and Salt Lake City, Utah, enjoyed various workshops such as Line Dancing; Card-Making; Origami-Making; Small Ring Pin Cushions; and Microwave Manju. We were touched by heart-warming testimonials of faith and a reflection of life growing up at the Topaz Internment Camp in Delta, Utah. Daily morning exercise helped keep focus on our health. A special thanks to Bobbie Ueunten (who made a one-day trip to share her Feldenkrais workshop).
