Visit the Holy Land with Pastor Scott & Laura

I have always dreamed of going to the Holy Land and walking where Jesus, Moses, David, Peter, Paul, Elijah and John the Baptist walked, haven’t you? Imagine yourself taking a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee where Jesus calmed the storm; being baptized in the Jordan River where John the Baptist baptized our Savior; walking the Via Dolorosa where Jesus carried his cross to Calvary; visiting a museum where the Dead Sea Scrolls are displayed; or taking communion at the traditional site of the empty tomb where Jesus defeated death for all of us. Laura and I are going and will experience all of these things, and we are looking for 12 people who will go with us on this chance of a lifetime 12-day trip to Israel leaving this November 1st. Along with other places, we will be visiting:
