Join Pastors Adam Butler and Ann Fenlason on a life-changing trip to the Holy Land! Having both traveled to the Holy Land separately before, we are looking forward to returning and leading a group together! This is a trip that will inspire, captivate, challenge, and move you.  Scripture will come to life as you see the land of God’s people and walk the streets and paths of Jesus. History will become lived experience as we interact with Jewish people and Palestinian Christians alike. We will find moments of prayer and worship along the way. All in all, we are confident this will be a trip that will help you grow in faith and gain an understanding of the role these holy sites play in the religious life of so many. – DETAILS: Tour departs on October 9, 2023 and returns on October 19, 2023 Departure airport: Minneapolis, MN (MSP) PRICING: $4,390.00 per person based on double occupancy - book now as space is limited!

Imagine! Imagine sailing on the waters of the Sea of Galilee, looking out across those same waters from the Mt. of Beatitudes. Imagine walking the streets of the Old City of Jerusalem, and visiting Bethlehem. Imagine meeting your siblings, brothers, and sisters in the faith, hearing their stories, and seeing for yourself their amazing witness and work as followers of Jesus Christ. You can make it real! On behalf of the Oregon Synod, I would like to invite you to join us at the 2023 Synod Holy Land Accompaniment Pilgrimage. We will be traveling there not merely as tourists seeing sites,but as pilgrims engaging with the people. Yes, we will experience “ancient stones” as we walk with Palestinian guides among the sites connected with stories from the Hebrew Scriptures, the life of Jesus, and the history of the early church. But we will also encounter “living stones” as we meet with Christians, including our fellow Lutherans of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Jordan and the Holy Land, living out their faith today in the lands of the Bible. The biblical narrative will come alive in fresh ways, and so will the living witness of people of faith working for peace and justice, putting in practice the love of Christ. I encourage you to join us on this pilgrimage. You will be blessed! And you will be changed! (Nick Doversberger, host for this pilgrimage, has served as an ELCA pastor in Oregon for over 35 years. He is an experienced teacher of the Bible and, since 1970, has traveled numerous times to the Holy Land, once as part of a summer-long sabbatical. He is well-grounded in biblical history, culture, languages, and faith.)

Dear Friends, Pastor Tenny, Sherry, Gretchen, and I would like to invite you to an unforgettable pilgrimage to the Holy Land from November 7-16, 2023.  Together we will walk in the footsteps of Jesus, wade into the Jordan where he was baptized, sail on the Sea of Galilee, touch the spot of his birth, pray at Garden of Gethsemane, mourn at the crucifixion and celebrate communion at the tomb of his resurrection.  Pastor Tenny and I will lead daily Bible Studies and talk through this moving experience together. Having been to the Holy Land before, I can assure you that afterward, the Bible will come alive as you will understand better the geography and picture the scenes whenever you hear the biblical stories again. This tour is open to people beyond Christ Lutheran.  If you have family or friends who would like to join us, please extend the invitation.  We would love to share this pilgrimage together.
