Let’s Go to the Holy Land

13 July 2022
Temple Mount in the Holy Land

“On the road again.” We love singing with Willie Nelson about hitting the highway with our friends, sometimes to places “where we’ve never been.” Even though we’re smack dab in the middle of school break this summer, I invite you to mark your calendars for June 2023 for an incredibly special trip: a faith pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

Holy Land - Sea of GalileeAdventure. Faith. Discovery. Join me for a trip-of-a-lifetime that combines all three! Lewis and Clark ventured west. Columbus set sail for new lands. Sir Edmund Hilary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay first summitted Everest. Now it’s our turn to explore the Holy Land! From heaven, Jesus was so enchanted with our earthly home that he visited for several decades.

Now it’s our turn to return the favor, exploring Jesus’s childhood homes of Bethlehem and Nazareth, the shores of Galilee where he called his disciples, the Jerusalem sites where he gave us the Lord’s Supper, died, rose to new life, and ascended into heaven, and so much more. Neil Armstrong took one small step on the moon that changed history. Together, in June 2023, we’ll be blessed to follow Jesus’s own foot-steps, in stunning walks and talks that will wonderfully change our faith histories. Standing in the very locations of the Bible stories we’ve heard our whole lives, our connection to Scripture and most importantly, Jesus, will vividly and dynamically deepen. There will be adventure, food, music, marketplaces, new friends, worship experiences, camel rides, and Dead Sea floating you’ll never forget!

Please contact me at [email protected] or 770-880-2069 to let me know your interest and questions. I’ll keep you in the loop regarding informational meetings and Zoom calls. COS members and friends and family members thereof are most welcome.
