PCOL/Presbytery Pilgrimage to the Holy Land – December 26-January 8, 2016
An opportunity for learning and spiritual renewal
The Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceville, in partnership with leaders of the Presbytery’s Mission Coordination and Social Witness Committee, are hosting a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, departing late December of this year. The trip will be both a Christian pilgrimage – exposing participants to sites of religious and spiritual significance for Christians – as well as an opportunity to learn about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict from multiple points of view. All-inclusive cost: $3,900. Click here for full information or here to view the trip reading lists. You can also contact Jeff Vamos or Jan Everett.
