homes, crafts and reenactments will help us appreciate the daily life and responsibilities of women ofJesus' day. We continue down to the Church of the Annunciation, where, according to tradition, the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary Passing through Cana (John 2), where at Mary's request, Jesus performed the first of his miracles, we arrive at our accommodations on the Sea of Galilee. Relax at the shore before dinner. Overnight at the Sea of Galilee for the next three nights.

Day 4, Sat Nov 04 - Sea of Galilee: Boat Ride with devotion and prayer for Asia on board, Mt. of Beatitudes, Tabgha, Caphernaum, Magdaia

"Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them saying: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven". (Matthew 5:1-3)

We begin our day boarding a wooden boat for Ginnosar -sailing in the footsteps ofJesus! Disembarking, we visit an original fishing boat of Jesus' day, recently discovered in the mud of the lake shore. We drive to the Mount of Beatitudes to reflect on the new commandment Jesus taught here. We then descend the hillside (twenty minutes by foot or by bus) to Tabgha (Heptapagon - Greek for seven springs), visiting the Church of Loaves and Fishes marking Jesus' miraculous feeding of the Five Thousand (Mark 6:30-44) as well as the Church of Mensa Christi, where, after the resurrection, Jesus appeared to his disciples on the lakeshore (John 21). After lunch (those who wish can savor "St. Peter's Fish" native to the Sea of Galilee), we continue to Caphernaum to see the house of Peter, where Jesus healed Peter's mother in law (Mark 1:29-31). We see the cramped living quarters of the ancient town and the basalt hand mills where women would grind grain together for their families' daily bread (Matthew 24:41), as well as the synagogue where Jesus preached and cast out demons (Mark 1). We drive south along the western shores of the Sea of Galilee to the exciting new discovery of a first century synagogue at Magdala where we can infer that Christ as an itinerant preacher would have preached in that synagogue.

Day 5, Sun Nov 05 - Tel Dan, Caesarea Philippi, Gergesa, Worship Service

"When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets." "But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." (Matthew 16:13-16).

This morning we head north through the lush Upper Jordan Valley to Dan. Here we combine a short nature walk with views of the ancient ruins, including the Israelite high place where King Jeroboam erected
