Special Note
During the time in Jerusalem, our readings and prayers will include the threads of God’s promises running through the Hebrew Scriptures (the Old Testament) and to see how they were fulfilled in the life of Jesus the lives of the disciples. We will also be looking at the promises for the future and what this means for us. We will be praying for God to give us understanding and insight. From our base at Dor and later from the shores of the Sea of Galilee we will explore the region, seeing places familiar to some but new to others. Here we will have time to explore Jesus’ ministry in this place, as well as to reflect and be still and to enjoy the beautiful countryside.
Most mornings and evenings there will be short times of prayer and worship to begin and end the day.
