There is presented in Three Days the basics of the Christian life and the meaning of living the Christian ideal and its application in our daily lives. Tres Dias is centered on lay and clergy talks. Each talk is discussed by table groups. Interchange that develops in these discussions makes Christ’s teachings come alive. The basic atmosphere of Tres Dias is one of love, joy, Christian fellowship, singing laughing and worship. Tres Dias makes future Christian experiences more fruitful because of the zestful seasoning it brings to all Christian Living.
