More about the trip:
This study tour takes place during the Easter season when we celebrate the
words, "He is not here; he is risen!" Let us travel to that empty tomb in
Jerusalem and on the way traverse the Galilee of Jesus' childhood and early
ministry. Afterwards let us listen to the "still small voice" in the
wilderness, as did prophets of old, John the Baptist, and our Lord Himself.
During the journey let us meet and talk with the Living Stones of the Land,
Palestinians and Israelis who share this sacred space. Finally, walk with us
on the road to Emmaus and recognize the Lord in the breaking of bread (Luke
24).
Come, be renewed in the Spirit in preparation for Pentecost. Your eyes
will be opened. Your hearts will be stirred. You will not return home the
same.
