SONKRAN WEEKEND @THE RIVER


It is "Sonkran"time. Songkran falls in the hottest time of the year in Thailand, at the end of the dry season. The Festival has traditionally been celebrated as the New Year for many centuries. It is observed nationwide, and includes religious rituals relating to "cleansing". Sonkran has also become the craziest water-throwing, drinking and merrymaking time of the year. Serious accidents and fatalities are inevitable.






The River Team youth and our entire band with all our sound equipment went to minister at a youth camp close Myanmar border.

At The River CREATIVITY stepped in big time!

The meeting room was transformed into a "Spiritual Journey of Faith". In groups, each person participated in discovering the foundations of our faith. Creative props helped in the porcess of thinking things through. The groups then reported their finding to the others.






The River loves eating togther... Today's menu was sticky rice, grilled chicken and papaya salad... followed by The River Cafe cakes and ice cream.
