Beginnings

We are grateful to our congregation, New Song, for supporting and encouraging us to take a sabbatical in our 10th year of ministry.  With the support of our bishop we received a significant grant from the Lilly Foundation to make this faith heritage journey possible.  It took several months to plan this trip, working with a local travel agent.  Our journey takes us to Rome for six days, Israel for 10 days, a cruise on the Mediterranean which includes a number of Pauline missionary sites, a 6-day car trip through Greece checking out the ancient sites of Corinth, Phillipi, and Thessoloniki, and three days in Wittenberg, Germany, the site of Luther's work and ministry.      

The adventure begins on Tuesday, July 30th, 2013
