A narrated countryside tour then takes us through the picturesque farmlands of Lancaster County, where we observe working farms and learn about time-honored practices such as quilt-making, butter churning, and dairy farming.

A highlight of the day is a traditional Amish home-cooked meal served inside a private Amish home, featuring hearty, family-style dishes prepared from scratch and enjoyed in a warm, welcoming setting that reflects the simplicity and hospitality of Amish culture.

Later, we attend a matinee performance at Sight & Sound Theatres, where the biblical story of Joshua comes to life on a massive stage with impressive sets, live animals, and powerful storytelling.
