“4 Come to him, a living stone, though rejected by mortals yet chosen and precious in God’s sight, and 5 like living stones, let yourselves be built[a] into a spiritual house” ( 1Peter 2:4-5a)
 
Dear friends in Christ,
 
Join me and Pastor Jill Henning for an opportunity of a lifetime as we walk through the land, we call Holy. Join us on this trip to the Holy Land January of 2023. This will give you an opportunity to touch and meet the living stones and see our own connectivity to the stories of our faith. We will tour biblical sites, learn about the work of the Lutheran World Federation, Peace Not Walls, hear from Palestinian Christians, dwell in God’s Word, and most importantly; worship. Over this trip we will experience part of the 12 days of Christmas, Epiphany of Our Lord, and the Baptism of Our Lord; all in the places that these events occurred so long ago. So, join us, dear ones as we journey together.
 
We are only taking fifty people with us, so don’t miss out. Here is the link with all the information and there you can directly interact with the tour service director with questions pertaining to the trip. Or reach out to me with any questions.
