211016AM We got to spend our rainy, cold, dreary fall day in Greece this Saturday—off visiting the Biblical sites of Berea and Vergina today.

211017AM Thessalonica Today’s devotional challenge for our class in Thessalonica was on our walk through the huge Roman baths Complex under St. Demetrius Church.
