Coming April 29: A Prime Time Trip to the “Explorations In Antiquity Center” in LaGrange, Georgia
Have you ever wondered what it would have been like to live at the time of Jesus? If you have, then this trip may be for you! At the “Explorations In Antiquity Center” you will see and experience full scale archaeological replicas of scenes just as they were when Jesus walked in Palestine.
The brochure states: “The Explorations in Antiquity Center’s purpose is to transport the visitor across the sea and through the ages to the earlier times and places of the Judeo-Christian heritage in the Middle East. The archaeological remains can help people understand earlier periods and rediscover the hopes and fears of peoples long ago. Our museum can help the visitor find meaning from the amazing archaeological discoveries from the Biblical world.”
In addition to the replicas at the Center, we will also enjoy “an authentic 15 dish Last Supper meal.” Typical foods served in ancient Palestine will also be included, so this should be an interesting and educational experience! For more info about the Center is available online at: www.explorationsinantiquity.com.
We will travel by Charter Bus to the Explorations in Antiquity Center in LaGrange on Thursday, April 29. The cost for the Trip is $30.00 which includes Transportation, the Last Supper meal (lunch), tour, and complete access to the Center’s replicas. Join us if you can for this interesting and fun time. 50 People Maximum:
Deadline to Register
is April 20th.
To make reservations and to pay for the event (requested at the time of reservation) please call the church office (987-1852) and drop your trip payment by the church office (1002 Carroll St, across the street from the church sanctuary). See you on April 29 for a trip back in time!
Prime Time Travelers Savannah trip was a huge success!
We had a wonderful time on the Savannah trip! We enjoyed a delicious meal at an old established restaurant in Savannah, Johnny Harris Restaurant, when we arrived. Later that evening we dined at a newer, but well known, establishment, Paula Dean’s Our Lady and Sons Restaurant. Both experiences were delightful culinary events!
Later that evening our group took in the Savannah Theater production, A Christmas Tradition. Well, frankly, it was fantastic! Beautiful singing, gorgeous costuming, humorous skits, and amazing dramatic presentations: our group was wowed by the show! What a good and joyful way to enjoy the holidays!
The next day we traveled to Beaufort, South Carolina, about an hour from Savannah. What a quaint, an interesting place! Very historic and picturesque, and situated right on the river, we enjoyed shopping and dining in this friendly town.
Stay tuned for announcements about upcoming Prime Time trips you will not want to miss! Many thanks to Polly Mohr who planned and led this trip!
