VISIT TO THE HOLY LAND
You may remember that 2 years ago, I visited the
Holy Land with the Amos Trust on an alternative
pilgrimage – visiting biblical sites, but also meeting
the ‘living stones’ – Christians and others who live
in Palestine/Israel, and are working in various
ways for a just and peaceful future.
There is an opportunity to join Methodists from
West Herts for a similar trip in October 2015. If
you would like to know more, please contact me.
Valerie and Alan Keating and all their family are in
our prayers following the death of their son Sean in
a road accident on Monday.
