Twenty-two pastors will travel together Jan 27 to Feb 10 to the land of our faith's beginnings. We will visit, learn, pray, and reflect on what we experience there and our vocations at home. This blog shares our journey with our friends and family at home. We covet your prayers. Funded by the CF Foundation of Atlanta, the pilgrimage is led by the Rev. Dr. Trisha Tull and the Rev. Jane Larsen-Wigger. Please leave comments by clicking on "comments" at the end of any entry.

January 28,2012
This is my attempt to blog from Pilgerhaus in Tabgha. Tabgha means seven springs so this is literally the place of seven springs. Today we visited the church of loaves and fishes which is thought to be the place where Jesus fed the 5000. From there we went on to see the church that is built on the site where Jesus cooked breakfast for his disciples after the resurrection. Then on to cahpernaum and they do spell it with an "h". There we saw the ruins of a synagogue and the ruins of Peter's home where Jesus often stayed and where he healed Peter's mother-in-law. At each site one of us read a scripture that was relevant to the site. I read the feeding of the 5000 outside the church in Tabgha. My room overlooks the Sea of Galilee. This whole experience is so amazing. Tomorrow we will worship at the Mount of the Beatitudes. I'm going to try to post a picture of my lunch but this is all new to me!!
Ok! Sorry but I can't get the picture thing yet!!
