On Saturday, April 26, 2014, 48 members of women's groups (UMW) made a one-day excursion by bus to ancient Philippi and Kavala, Greece. For most of these women it was their first opportunity to see these places that were visited by the Apostle Paul. Philippi is a 4 hour drive from Strumica. (Thanks to Pavlina Manavska for many of these photos.)
