AND HAS RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING
AWARDS:
TRES DIAS OF NORTHERN NEW JERSEY: Tres Dias of Northern New Jersey Web Pages are dedicated to the thousands of men &
women who have made a Tres Dias Weekend and for those whose weekend awaits them.
Tres Dias endeavors to bring Christians to a closer and more personal walk with
our Lord Jesus Christ. Tres Dias encourages those who attend a weekend to become
actively involve in Christian leadership in their churches and environments.
HISTORY OF TRES DIAS: Tres Dias was derived from Cursillo de Christiandad, a "short course in
Christianity" and has been involved in church renewal since its beginnings in
Spain. The first "Cursillo de Christiandad" occurred January 7-10, 1949 at the
Sanctuary of Saint Honorato in Randa, Majorca, Spain. Translated from Spanish
Tres Dias means "Three Days". Tres Dias is an ecumenical &
inter-denominational Christian renewal group that "Proclaims that Jesus Christ
is Lord". Men and Women weekends are held throughout the year. Tres Dias
encourages people to be in small groups to support each other in their lives as
Christians while maintaining ties with their home churches and environments.
There are now more than 45 Tres Dias communities around the world. Thousands of
men and women have made a Tres Dias Weekend. In America, Tres Dias was begun in
1972 and is overseen and chartered by International Tres Dias, which is made up of laity and
clergy from around the world. Individual weekends are sponsored and coordinated
by local area groups such as TRES DIAS OF NORTHERN NEW JERSEY.
TRES DIAS OF NORTHERN NEW JERSEY: The purpose of TRES DIAS of NNJ shall be to create, foster, develop and enhance, among the general public in New Jersey, generally, greater knowledge and appreciation of the tenets of the Christian faith, and encourage, by example, the personal and inter-personal application of the teachings of Jesus Christ to the individual, family, church, business, and society in general. This will be accomplished chiefly through the sponsoring of TRES DIAS weekends. Traditionally in New Jersey, the Tres Dias weekend begins on Thursday evening
and concludes on Sunday afternoon. Each Winter, Spring, and Fall, TRES DIAS OF
NORTHERN NEW JERSEY sponsors individual weekends for men & women. For
married couples, the husband goes on a weekend first. Each attendee, called a
"Candidate", has a Sponsor who prays for the Candidate and assists to help make
the Candidate's three days on the weekend free of responsibilities elsewhere.
Sponsors act as a resource for their Candidate after the Weekend. The weekends
are centered around talks given by Lay & Clergy Team Members which present
Biblically based Christian truths and the implications of such truths to our
daily lives. During the weekend, the candidates worship & study together.
The atmosphere of a TRES DIAS weekend is one of love, joy, patience, hope,
Christian fellowship, sharing, singing, participation, laughing, and worship.
The weekends for Men's #102 and Women's #99 were recently held. The men and women who attended the weekends were overheard
saying that "they were the best weekends ever". Why not participate in the next best weekend.
For more information just send an e-mail request to the Weekend Applications Chairpersons at: pdalton@ccahv.com with your name, address, phone number, and church affiliation so that we can get in touch with you. We promise you will not regret your decision to attend a Tres Dias Weekend.

The June 18, 2009 Secretariat Meeting will be held at the Community Baptist Church in Somerset NJ.
The fish is an ancient Christian symbol known from the 1st century catacombs
in Rome. The first literary reference to a fish as a Christian symbol is from
Clement of Alexandria (born c. 150) in Paedogogus, III, xi. During times of
persecution, early Christians would scratch a fish symbol on the ground as a
means to distinguish friend from foe. The symbol itself may have come from the
miraculous story of the loaves and fishes (John 6:1-13) or from the meal of
fish Jesus shared with His disciples at the Sea of Galilee after the Resurrection
(John 21:1-13). I prefer, however, the interpretation that it came from the
story of the coin found by Simon Peter in the mouth of the fish (Matthew 17:24-27).
The story may be seen as a metaphor for the free gift given to us by Jesus through
his atoning death - our salvation. The Greek word within the fish is ICHTHUS
which means "fish" in Greek. It's also an acronymn for the phrase Jesus Christ,
Son of God, Saviour.
