Every year, Chosen People Ministries holds a special retreat called Simcha, which is Hebrew for “joy.” The vision for this one-of-a-kind retreat is to bring individuals and families together to worship and experience the joy of the Lord.
This year, we are going to combine this joy-filled time together with a celebration of Chosen People Ministries’ 125th anniversary!
Our theme is Israel’s Glorious Future, and we will have wonderful speakers including Dr. Darrell Bock, Professor of New Testament Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary, Reverend Stuart Rothberg, who is the teaching pastor at Sagemont Church in Houston, and Dr. Mitch Glaser.
Marty Goetz will lead us in worshipping the Lord together—Marty is truly a modern-day psalmist and world-class musician.
To better understand our rich 125-year history, Chosen People Ministries staff member Dr. Alan Shore will be presenting a one-man dramatic testimony of Chosen People Ministries’ founder, Rabbi Leopold Cohn. You will not want to miss this!
Because our vision is to bring families together, we will have exciting and engaging programs for children and teens, so bring your whole family!
