PART 3 GALILEE BRANCH

It is a great gathering for the Sabbath meeting. The

Jackson’s from the District Leadership are the speakers and

speak about becoming a Zion people which is our theme for

the conference: Moses 7:18 And the Lord called his people

Zion, because they were of one heart and one mind, and

dwelt in righteousness. After which we have a great meal

made extra special because each member sits next to a

member they don’t know and gathers information so they

can introduce them to the rest of the branch.The sisters will

now be that person’s visiting teacher.

Then the Friday group heads back to their homes and the Haifa Group sleeps over and then next day we take them all to see the historical sites and repeat the process of seeing and learning about the scriptures, the Savior, and this Holy Land.

PART 2 GALILEE BRANCH

Blogger's "new, improved" Preview does not allow you to return nor edit, so this will be a fragmented entry.  Sorry.. (Chad, help me do this better, please.)  Good grief, now I can't add more text after adding pictures. 

.....and stele fragments that mention the “House of David, We

have been reading about all of these in the Old Testament. It

was exciting to see all these things together and read the

relevant scriptures: Gen 14:14, Josh 19: 40-48, I K 4:25, I K

12: 25-33, Amos 8:14.

In this very same place, there is also a wonderful walking

area where the springs just bubble up from Mt. Hermon

stream and make walking in the woods another great feature

of this National Historical Park.

Next came Jereboam's false altars:

Ahab's gate 940 BC:

GALILEE BRANCH CONFERENCE - AUG 13-15

A major event took place this weekend. We have Filipino

members who only get one day off a month and have never

met with the branch as a whole. After getting support from

the district leadership and our Branch council, here’s what

we felt inspired to do. Those members who could get off

work on Friday came to the branch house in Tiberius for a

(late) July 24 celebration and a Pot Luck Dinner. We played

games, did Square Dancing and thought of the Pioneers in

early days of the church and the Pioneers in the church in

Israel. We also had a sleepover for those that could so that

the next day we could take them to see the historical sites at

Tel Dan which include Abraham’s Gate from 2000 BC,
