ISRAEL AND JORDAN IN JUNE
The holy places and historical sites in Israel/Jordan are often declared “The World’s Best Open Air Sunday School.” There is nothing more memorable than delving into the Bible stories at the locations where they happened. The deeper meanings of these events become realities. You can stand on the Mount of Olives and recall Jesus’ prophetic teachings. From the Mount of Olives you can view the majestic city of Jerusalem whose praises King David sang and then you can pray for the heavenly Jerusalem and the hope for the future. You will cross the Allenby Bridge and visit Bethany-beyond- the-Jordan, where it is believed that John the Baptist baptized Jesus. In the land of Jordan you will visit the magnificent ancient city of Petra which was on the ancient spice route. It is here that the wise men bought their frankincense and myrrh to offer the new born king. Pick up a brochure at the Welcome Center. Deposits are due by March 1. Call Katherine with your questions. Get ready for a deeply satisfying pilgrimage led by Pastor Kent and Joy Kroehler.
