The 3-day Marco-Encounter God Retreat conducted for the benefit of the pastors and church leaders of the Pangasinan EGR Network started and ended in success.

There were 31 delegates coming from the provinces of Pangasinan, La Union and Zambales.  The 3-day Macro-Encounter was headed by Rev. Charlie Loranza as Encounter Director.

He was ably supported by a cast of G12 leaders of the Solid Rock Bible Congregation. 

The next Encounter is tentatively scheduled on mid-June.

The Solid Rock Bible Congregation (SRBC) conducted its first “cell-lebration”, a gathering of all members of cell groups handled by cell group leaders of the church.

The church overflowed with about 250 bodies, children excluded.  The cell members came from various locations even as far as Sual, Burgos, Calasiao and Mabini.

The cell-lebration coincided with Mother’s Day, and during the service, a tribute to mothers was presented.  Here are a few pictures from the event.

 Everyone prepares to watch a video presentation.

 Some mothers present a special number.

A picture of one mother is shown on video while the group of mothers present a song number. 

Here is another shot of the song and video presentation.

It’s all systems go for the Macro-Encounter of the EGR Pangasinan Network. 

Pastors and church leaders from Pangasinan, Zambales, Pampanga and La Union will be coming over to the JCSGO Campsite in Libsong, Lingayen, Pangasinan, venue of the Macro-Encounter on May 15-17, 2008.

This is probably the first time that a 3-day Bogota-type Encounter will be conducted in the province.  The purpose of the Macro-Encounter is not just to let pastors and church leaders learn the Bogota-type Encounter but also to have a fresh encounter with God anew.
