This morning we worshiped at the Melkite church, and enjoyed the especially familial "coffee hour"' afterwards, in the still-being-renovated church.
In the evening, Marthame stopped by the mayor's home. He had asked Marthame to produce a short video on Zababdeh in Arabic, English, and French. Marthame agreed to the English, so stopped by for a general session and interview. The film will eventually be a kind of general information on Zababdeh - its churches, mosque, history, region, etc. It'll be good practice for the real deal when we get going this Fall on our own video project here.
