A visit to the UMC in Albania - May 14 - 19, 2013

At the invitation of my District Superintendent, who is also DS for Albania, I had the opportunity to present a seminar on teaching Sunday school for volunteers from the three small UMC congregations in Albania.  My husband Lee went with me to Albania; we saw Tirana, Durres, Kruja and Pogradec.  The people were gracious and welcoming.  The scenery was green, mountainous and lovely.

On the trip from Tirana to Podradec, we visited St. Paul's Bridge on the Via Egnatia, the road from Rome to Constantinople.

The Apostle Paul is said to have crossed this bridge.

A gift to thank me for presenting the seminar!
