The invitation to grow in faith and be forever changed is before us. Join Cross of Christ Lutheran Church as God’s Living Word comes alive to our senses as we walk in the footsteps of Jesus and the people of God in the Holy Land!  I made my first pilgrimage in 2018 with my spouse and dear friends. I have traveled to many places in the world. Prior to this pilgrimage, I viewed this trip as another stamp to add to my passport. I was caught off guard by how deeply it changed me. It was not just another trip; it was a pilgrimage. Visiting holy sites was meaningful, but standing on the shores of the Sea of Galilee and absorbing the setting sun, standing on the Mount of Olives and staring into the Judean hills brought many words of the Psalms to life, as experiencing the geography of the Holy Land helped me hear and view Scripture from new perspectives. Beyond the geography, I was so deeply moved, heartbroken, and convicted upon hearing the stories of real people who call this land home today, as they face daily struggles due to the history of conflict in this land. It shaped my worldview in new ways. Join us! Be inspired! Be changed as together we experience the pilgrimage of a lifetime, following in the footsteps of Jesus!

I am excited to invite you on a life-changing adventure together - a trip to Israel in 2024.  This is an incredible opportunity for us to experience the Holy Land firsthand and acquire a deeper understanding of our faith from a unique spiritual perspective. The journey will begin in Jerusalem, the ancient city of King David that has been the center of Jewish history for centuries. We will visit the Temple Mount, walk through the narrow alleys of the Old City, and stand in awe as we gaze upon some of the holiest sites on earth. From there, we will take pilgrimages to Bethlehem, Nazareth, and Jericho, as well as other important locations related to Jesus' ministry and life. Along with these trips, we will also have time set aside for rest, reflection, worship, and fellowship among ourselves. This trip promises to be an amazing journey filled with unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime. I firmly believe it will leave us all changed forever - strengthened by faith and encouraged by God’s grace to continue on our path in service to Him. So please prayerfully consider joining me as we make this incredible trek together!

Dear friends in Christ, Come and See the land God has declared Holy! Come and meet the living stones and connect with the stories of our faith!
