The Verbum Dei Missionary Couple Disciples organized a scripture-based mini-retreat for couples on 4 November 2023 at Labrador Park. 21 couples, aged between late 20s to early 60s, gathered on that beautiful Saturday morning for their ‘Picnic with Jesus’ praying with the Word of God broken by one of our missionary disciple couples. Armed with their picnic baskets filled with goodies and journals, the couples, after an ice-breaker game, found their own cosy corners in the park to pray and share with each other. Apart from the couples, we also had 20 children join us for the morning’s activities. While their parents were out on their picnic, the kids had their own kid’s programme. Many couples found the picnic a refreshing way to commune with God in nature.
