We typically worship as a group in our hotel on Sunday morning before departing on the daily excursion. We sing, pray, hear a short lesson, and take the Lord's Supper together.

None of the countries we visit have any requirements related to COVID-19. Travel in nearly every place has returned to pre-pandemic norms. Be aware that governmental policies are subject to change, though no new restrictions are currently expected.

Some destinations require more walking than others, so it's best to inquire directly about the trip you are considering. Many European countries have reasonable wheelchair and elevator access and usually require less walking. Destinations such as Israel, Greece, or Turkey have many hills and one must often walk up and down to get places. Egypt is generally flat but we must often walk significant distances to visit sites, and the Nile cruise boats use stairs to move between decks. If you have concerns about the amount of walking involved for a trip, inquire directly.
