Holy Land Pilgrimage 2024

12 Day Holy Land Pilgrimage
April 4-15, 2024
Led by Reverend Cate Church Norman, Jeb Jeutter and Reverend Jody Welker

For thousands of years, Christians from all over the world have journeyed to the Holy Land to deepen their faith. Next spring, join other WMPC members and friends as we embark on the trip of lifetime! We’ll immerse ourselves in the history and culture of the Holy Land and have our faith and reading of the Bible awakened as we explore significant places from the Bible. We’ll walk in the steps of Abraham, Moses, Mary and Jesus, and we’ll also seek to understand something of the Israeli/ Palestinian conflict and get a feel for the current situation.

This will be a spiritual pilgrimage, not a tour per se. As Christian pilgrims we will undertake this journey to deepen our life in Christ through seeing the Land and meeting the “living stones” there, and through corporate worship, sacraments, shared prayer and experiential learning.
