A Family Holy Land Adventure - Galilee-by-the-Sea, July 14-18, 2008
This summer Bloomfield Presbyterian Church on the Green, Park United Methodist Church, and Watchung Presbyterian Church worked together to offer an exciting Family Holy Land Adventure Program at Watchung Presbyterian Church, Bloomfield. We began each evening with dinner and fellowship time, then we traveled to the Galilee-By-The-Sea village and the synagogue, set up in different rooms. Everyone was able to explore the culture of Jesus' world. Each day kids and adults left Galilee-By-The Sea with a fresh understanding and appreciation for what it was like to live when Jesus lived. Thanks to all our teen & adult volunteers who dressed up and participated with a tribe, ran one of the ten village shops, played games, and served dinner. We had shopkeepers for the Carpentry Shop, Jewelry-Making Shop, Sandal-Making Shop, Stone-Carving Shop, Bakery, Toy-Making Shop, Fisherman's Hut, Rope-Making Shop, Barnyard, and Farmer's Market. Thanks to Debi Cook for the photos.
