ERESB 2022 in Santa Bárbara, MG
13th ERESB – 8th Estação Cultural
The Encontro Regional dos Evangélicos de Santa Bárbara (ERESB), the Regional Gathering of Evangelicals of Santa Bárbara, is one of the greatest symbols of the union of faith and culture in the Serra do Caraça region. In 2022, the event reached its 13th edition, continuing a history marked by worship, gospel music and the active participation of local churches. Held on October 21 and 22, the gathering once again took place at the Praça da Estação (Station Square), which became a true stage of celebration and Christian fellowship.
The Santa Bárbara City Hall, through the Department of Culture, Tourism Development and Sports, in partnership with the Associação Evangélica do Projeto ERESB (AEPE), offered a varied and inspiring program. The event was part of the 8th Estação Cultural (Cultural Station), which every year brings together artistic activities and religious expression in a shared space of fellowship and faith.
Worship and cultural performances
Friday, October 21, was dedicated to cultural performances by Santa Bárbara's evangelical churches, which delighted the audience with choreography, theater and songs glorifying God. An atmosphere of fellowship and spirituality marked the night, bringing different denominations together with one purpose: to celebrate the presence of Christ.
On Saturday, October 22, activities began with prayers led by religious leaders, followed by dance performances and praise songs by local ministries. The preaching of the Word brought messages of faith and hope, reminding everyone of the importance of fellowship and Christian love.
Closing with Fernanda Brum
The high point of the 13th ERESB was the performance by singer Fernanda Brum, one of the greatest voices in Brazilian gospel music. Her presence moved the audience and turned Saturday night into an unforgettable moment of worship. Among the hits she performed were "Espírito Santo", "Cura" and "O Que Sua Glória Fez Comigo", songs that led the faithful to reflection and deep praise.
The singer was welcomed with great enthusiasm by the believers, who packed the Praça da Estação to take part in this spiritual experience. The energy of the audience and the devotion expressed in the songs showed that ERESB is more than an event — it is a living testimony of the faith that moves Santa Bárbara and the whole Serra do Caraça.
A tradition of faith in the Serra do Caraça
Over the years, ERESB has become one of the most eagerly awaited events on the town's cultural and religious calendar. With each edition, it reaffirms its commitment to promoting unity among churches and valuing local talent, offering the public a space for praise, art and fellowship.
In 2022, the event reinforced its mission to inspire lives and bring communities closer, carrying to the Serra do Caraça a message of faith that transcends borders and generations.
