一个彼此包容，谦卑学习的安全空间
美佳之窗 His Window 104（Oct - Dec 2023 ）

我们是 7-12 岁主日学老师团队。
这里有十多岁的青少年至五十几岁的成年人委身服事。
这里是一个大家庭，大家都不完美，也没有奇特的超能力。
我们许可犯错，努力营造一个彼此包容，谦卑学习的安全空间，
让大家愿意在这里学习领受和给予神的爱。
这是我们的退休会，
一起玩，一起备餐，一起分享，一起祷告，一起敬拜，一起疯!

对我而言，主日学老师团队是个特别的大家庭。我们十多岁至五十多岁的弟兄姐妹一起参与服事。退修会可以帮助我们彼此认识，增进感情。这三天两夜，有机会认识其他队伍的老师，也对少年助手老师多了一份了解。虽然每个人的性格、想法都有不相同之处，可是大家都愿意彼此接纳、牺牲自己的时间，彼此服事。我在他们身上发现很多值得学习的品格与价值。

It was an amazing and fun experience. I enjoyed every single moment of it. The team Games were very nice. The Games not only allowed us to have fun but also gave us an opportunity to think about ourselves and learn about one another.
I did a lot of self-reflection and learned to accept my strengths and weaknesses while not looking down on myself or comparing myself with others. I learned that I have a lot of people who support me, especially in church. Other than that, I found out that preparing food is not an easy task whilst washing dishes with friends is fun and having cup noodles at midnight gives you a sore throat!
I give thanks to God because the 3D2N retreat was smooth sailing and for sending and surrounding me with supportive and awesome people who care for me. I got to bond with my teachers and peers.
*On a side note, during the team Game sessions, I shared with my team about how I lack self- confidence and social skills. But after the retreat, I am a changed person. I interacted and started conversations with a lot of people. I even made some new friends!!

It was a very fun and enjoyable retreat. I got to play games with teachers and friends.
I learnt about the struggles of the teachers and helpers during the sharing and prayer session.
I want to thank God that I was able to go on this camp to bond with teachers and friends and get to know them better.

I absolutely loved the retreat because it has deepened our relationship with own team and with other teams too!
I have learned that teamwork makes the dream work, I have also learnt that praying for other people is so relaxing, because I have never prayed for anyone growing up.
Lastly, I would like to thank God that I was able to participate in the retreat, it was one of the best experiences EVER.

Thank God for His love and protection throughout our Games at this retreat. It is a pleasure for me to have the opportunity to participate in this retreat. The retreat was really a unique experience for me. Even though it was a teacher-helper retreat, it was more about establishing good relationship among us. We learned to concentrate on listening (prayers/games) and practise mutual respect.
