Hello from Dan

Hey gang! It’s the eve of 1 week out! It seems like Joyce and I began the preparations for this trip 132 years ago! It’s been a labor of love and we can’t believe our trip is almost here!!! We can’t wait to share Germany with you! If our love of Germany hasn’t rubbed off on you yet - just wait until you get there!

Please try and go to this blog, read this blog and blog yourself. This will be the journal of our trip! 

Germany:  There is so much to LOVE!

I was looking through photos from past trips and came across this one.  A cup filled to the brim with Kaffe Machiato and garnished with a heart.  In just a short week the trip that we've been planning for since last year this time will begin.  My heart is filled with love when I think of the country and the people that I've met there in the past and as I anticipate the new relationships waiting to be made.  Joyce 

Welcome!

Thank you for visiting our blog!  We have a group traveling to Germany from September 4th through September 20th, 2018.  We will be exploring the German roots of our UCC heritage!

Some of our activities will be visiting 4 of our partner churches in this area of Germany (Schwelm, Mengede, Borchen & Bielefeld), and attending a UCC Forum while enjoying our stay with a German Host Family.

We also will be touring Rothenburg and Augsburg to view many Renaissance buildings, visiting Neuschwanstein Castle, taking a Rhine River Cruise and a Night Watchman's Tour and much more.

Please re-visit our blog to see updates!
