Church Retreat

The church we attend (Musashino Chapel Center) is celebrating 30 years of ministry this fall. The last week of September, 130 people traveled up to the mountain town of Karuizawa where we worshiped together and enjoyed rich fellowship at a church retreat.

Highlights included the small group we were assigned to, the natural beauty of Karuizawa, the creative architecture we found on our walk, and special friends. The pastors (English-speaking and Japanese-speaking) gave inspiring messages. An overseas visitor invited by a Japanese friend made the life-changing choice to follow Jesus. There was great rejoicing in heaven and on earth.

Musashino Chapel Center has three Japanese congregations and one English-speaking international service. We dearly love our brothers and sisters who attend.
