I know, this has been a crazy flurry of posts!
So unlike me.
I needed to do it this way because I was afraid that it could all be forgotten
without this documentation.
This was an epic journey for me!
OK - here goes the last 2 days of this tour ...
Day 11
On to the bus and away we go to the Schleitheim Museum
Schleitheim is where the first Anabaptist confession was forged
in 1527 and a rare copy is on display here.
of this area is well documented.
We spent time reading and learning from the Museum's guide.
Also on display were many interesting artefacts of Scheitheim's
early history.
We will grab some lunch there.
Umbrellas and raincoats were needed on this day.
for worship, communion and reflection.
Even tho we needed to walk in the chilly rain for about
an hour to get there - it was an epic experience.
This sacred place was truly a highlight and worth the effort to get there.
Along the way we were greeted and inspected.
We arrived, soaked and weary but exhilarated to find this amazing place.
We sang, we shared communion, sang some more, and
felt the wonder of this special cave with tears in our eyes.

We did it! I so admire my new friend Nancy who inspired us all! |
The warm and dry bus was most welcomed as we travelled
back to Zurich for a nice dinner at the Hotel restaurant - King's Cave.
Day 12
Mennonite World Conference Gathering for the
COURAGE TO LOVE
Assembly ...
I didn't get too many pictures from this day - it was a whirlwind!
We gathered in the morning at Predigerkirche
for a greeting from TourMagination organizers.
They were responsible for all the logistics for many tour groups,
including ours, travelling during this time.
Some of us stayed to admire the antique quilt display (of course)
and then for some fantastic music group presentations as well.
And then it happened ...
We stood for hours outside of the Grossmunster church, not knowing
whether we would be lucky enough to get a seat inside.
The weather was beautiful and we were surrounded by
wonderful people from around the world anticipating this
special worship service.
What could be more wonderful?
Those who did not were able to watch a live stream
from the Predigerkirche
or from anywhere around the globe!
You too can view this service now.
As we exited this glorious church and assembly,
the church bells pealed and hearts of bubbles floated overhead.
This was a once in a lifetime experience for many of us.
Goose Bumps!!

One last lap around the beautiful Limmat River near our hotel
before being shuttled to the airport.
Time to say goodbye ...
One last important recognition:
This guy, Fred Martin, was the one who had the vision/dream to make this
Grebel tour happen.
Forever thankful Fred and Wanda!
THE END.
Till next time .... my heart is full! Thank you for bearing with me on this long stretch of posts.
