Last Saturday, April 17, our churches from Haifa and Krayot went on a trip to the ancient city of Banias, also known as Caesarea Philippi.

Early on we had a service which included several inspiring testimonies. We wish congratulations to those who celebrated their birthdays and shared in Communion.

We offered our many praises to The Lord.

After the service we had an opportunity to eat together and regain our strength before the excursion.

Our journey followed the banks of the river Banias, which begins at Mount Hermon.

We were fortunate to be able to see several waterfalls and a number of Archeological excavations.

At our destination we got to see two huge waterfalls and had sufficient time to rest in the cool waters at the end of a long journey.

After an enjoyable time there, we then got ourselves and our things together and made our return journey home. Each of us enjoyed sharing our impressions with each other on the trip back.
