Holy Land Faith Journey
Time is running out to sign on for the Holy Land Faith Journey Pastor Al has been asked to lead in February 2009. The 10-day Faith Journey to the Holy Land is more than a “tour” or visit to a historical site. This will be a Journey of Faith to where Jesus was born, where He lived and ministered, and where He died and rose again. Much of the scenery remains unchanged from Jesus’ time. Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nazareth and the Jordan River… these and other Biblical sites are where faith “comes alive” for tens of thousands of Christians every year and this journey promises to be a time of spiritual renewal and growth. Some of the sites to be visited include Mount Moriah, Capernaum, Mount of Olives, Dead Sea, Garden Tomb, House of Caiaphas, Garden of Gethsemane, Upper Room, Jericho, Mount of Beatitudes, and more. The Journey includes lectures by noted scholars.
This Holy Land Journey will be filled on a “first come, first served” basis. Cost for the Journey is approximately $2,300. There are a lot of things to think about and to prepare for an adventure like this. Brochures and a dvd is available, but you will need to let Pastor Al know as soon as possible if you may be interested.
Please visit the Family Life Center page. There is some new and important information that has been added!!
