SSenior pastor, Ken Dunivant's pedometer registered 20,000 steps today. That's about 8 miles. That walking took us to landmark churches and archaeological sites on the north shore of the Sea of Galillee today. From the ancient old testament city of Nazor to the beautiful Chapel of the Beatitudes, we covered over 1000 years of history and many of the stories found in the Bible. The group enjoyed St. Peter's Fish (tilapia) for lunch on the banks of the Sea. It was a warm day that felt more like September than November. We have been blessed with such glorious weather every day of our trip.
We are a little tired tonight, but it is a great kind of tired. We learned so much from our teachers Dr. Charles Page, Dr. Ken Dunivant, and Dr. Andy Pearson (from Tennessee). Tomorrow morning, we ride a boat acoress the Sea of Galillee, visit a couple of additional sites, and then turn our buses towards Jerusalem.
We had a moment of silence on our bus this evening as we remembered FUMCT.s All Saints services held today. Please know that we are thinking of you all but having a joyful and very educational experience here. Please continue your prayers as we travel tomorrow.
