“I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” – Psalm 139:14

The Baptist Church Sanathnagar joyfully hosted the Children’s Retreat 2025 on 2nd October 2025, with the inspiring theme “Beyond My Selfie”, based on Psalm 139:14. This special retreat was designed to help children discover their identity in Christ and understand that their true worth is found not in outward appearance, but in being “fearfully and wonderfully made” by God.

A Day of Joy, Worship, and Learning

The retreat began with vibrant songs of praise, joyful laughter, and a spirit of excitement among all the children. Under the guidance of our Associate Pastor Rev. S. Sudhir Kumar, the day unfolded with meaningful activities, creative workshops, and fun-filled moments that helped children grow both spiritually and personally.

The event featured Rev. Ragi Barnabas (Bilgah Joy Children Ministry) and Bro. Baptist John (CBCA Youth Director) as creative coaches. Their engaging sessions, stories, and illustrations encouraged every child to look beyond the “selfie” and see the beauty of God’s creation within themselves.

Session 1 – Worship, Word, and Puppet Show

The morning session was filled with energy and joy as the children participated in songs of praise, listened to the Word of God, and enjoyed a creative puppet show that beautifully conveyed the message of God’s love and craftsmanship in each of our lives.

Children were reminded that God has made them special, unique, and precious — not defined by social media or appearance, but by His divine purpose and love.

Session 2 – Art, Creativity, and Celebration

The afternoon session continued with songs, sharing, and creative workshops where children expressed their understanding of the theme through art and craft. The event concluded with gift and prize distribution, celebrating the talents and efforts of every participant.

It was a joyous time as children showcased their creativity, sang from their hearts, and rejoiced in the truth that they are wonderfully made by God.

A Reflection of God’s Wonderful Creation

The Children’s Retreat 2025 reminded every child that their true beauty lies in the way God has created them — perfectly and purposefully. It was not only a time of fun and learning but also a divine reminder that we are all “Beyond My Selfie” — defined not by the world, but by our Creator.
