In a loving Christian atmosphere and good fellowship, the Christian Brethren Assembly in Ibillin held a conference on Saturday and Sunday 29-30 June 2013, to honor the golden generation of the church in Ibillin and Nazareth at Beit Bracha in Magdal. 15 Elderly men and women attended the conference in addition to a team that helped organise for the program.

The programme included hymns, prayers, fellowship, devotions from the Bible that reminded everyone of the Lord’s dealings with us since childhood until old age.  People were reminded afresh of the importance of being fruitful and the importance of ministry especially in old age. “They will still bear fruit in old age” Psalm 92.

Many shared from their experiences about Lord’s care for them in their lives. They also shared their humorous memories. The programme included a workshop to decorate tissue boxes with the verse of the conference on the outside.

At the end of the conference, a tablet from stone with the name of every person who attended the gathering was given to everyone. The main verse of the conference was also on the tablet. Everyone thanked the Lord then for the love and the hard work of those who served the brothers and sisters for many years.

Everyone expressed their joy and happiness and they emphasized on the importance of holding this event every year.
