Penn-Dutch Featuring: Daniel

Plus The Museum of the Bible

1st Day: Upon arrival in Lancaster, Pennsylvania we will check into our home for the next two nights. The evening is free.

2nd Day: This morning we’ll meet our local guide to travel the back roads and hopefully get to see the Amish working in the fields. Our guide will lead us into the countryside and talk about the Amish customs and traditions. We’ll be passing by several one-room schoolhouses, which are still being used today by the Amish children. Maybe we’ll be lucky enough to see Amish horse and buggies clip-clopping down the roads.  Next, we’ll head to the Kitchen Kettle Village to enjoy lunch on your own. Stroll through the village of 42 shops and restaurants. Next we will visit the Bird-in-Hand Farmer’s Market. A delightful country shopping experience! After a delightful day our dinner stop will be a smorgasbord dinner. After dinner we will go to the Sight & Sound Theatre to see Daniel. Taken from his people, Daniel is exiled far from home in the powerful kingdom of Babylon. Now this faithful servant must navigate his new life inside a palace filled with golden statues and shifting empires. As royal pressures mount, Daniel is faced with a dangerous choice. Will his trust in the one true God remain steadfast through every test of faith? From the fiery furnace to the infamous den of lions, DANIEL is a spectacular theatrical experience for the whole family. Witness one of the Bible’s most hope-filled stories as it comes to life in this brand-new original stage production from Sight & Sound Theatres. (CB, D)

3rd Day: Departing for home this morning, we’ll travel to Washington, D.C. to the new Museum of the Bible. This is the most technologically advanced museum in the world, providing guests with an immersive and personalized experience as they explore the history, narrative, and impact of the Bible. The 430,000-square-foot world-class museum features 40-foot-tall bronze doors at the entrance, a Digital Lobby Ceiling, a Performing Arts Theater, a roof-top Biblical garden and more. See the History of the Bible floor - follow the Bible from its origins as a series of writings accessible to only a small group of people, through many changes in form and adoption by multiple faith traditions, to the most widely read text in history. Enjoy the Narratives of the Bible floor - visitors will walk through the narratives of the Hebrew text from Genesis to Chronicles and then through first-century Nazareth, ending with the story of the New Testament. Explore the Impact of the Bible floor - explore the Bible’s impact over time on cultures, civilizations, and daily life, including its profound influence on fine arts, science, government, music, film and more. Continuing home after visiting our Nation’s capital, we will arrive approximately 9:00 PM. (CB)
