*Members of the Presbyterian Peace Fellowship visiting Zababdeh.*

Today a group of eleven Presbyterian Peace Fellowship folks managed to cross the checkpoints and get to Zababdeh. When they arrived, it was pretty close to lunch time so we all went up to the University coffee shop. Then Marthame led them around Zababdeh, giving them the tour of our little town and its churches. Then they split off to meet local families who would be hosting them for a couple nights.

The group re-convened at our place in the evening for a simple lentil soup supper and a viewing for the first section of our film. Somehow Fr. Firas let it slip that it was his birthday, so a candy bar and a candle masqueraded as a proper birthday cake. It's good to have visitors.
