Holy Land Experience Opportunity in 2013

Come Join Us

Having been blessed by several experiences in the Holy Land, I am pleased to invite you to join me in Israel in February 2013. Working with the staff of Educational Opportunities, I have been able to customize what I believe will be an extraordinary learning experience. In particular, I am pleased to say that our guide will be the Rev. Dr. Steve Rettenmeyer, a colleague with deep knowledge of both the land and the Bible.

This would be wonderful enough, but I believe that this trip will be much more. As we walk in the footsteps of Jesus and explore the land in which he called and challenged his disciples, the Bible will come alive as never before. This will be an opportunity for spiritual renewal that will, in some cases, change lives. I encourage you to give prayerful consideration to joining me and the Rev. Laughton Corr, who has a wealth of experience in Israel, on this journey of a lifetime. Brochures about this trip are available in the narthex and by request from the church office. For further information, please see Rev. Corr in church or contact me at 359-6041, ext. 112.

In Christ,

Jim Noland, D. Min.

Remember Those Serving in the Military

Last month, those serving in the armed services were included in the care packages sent to our college students. Carol Anne Estes' daughter Lisa and her husband, Steven Bradshaw, are serving in Afghanistan on separate bases. They will be in Virginia later this summer on R&R (rest and recuperation). Below is a portion of a note written by Lisa:

Receiving packages and mail "is the biggest morale booster here where we have very little to amuse us....Thank you for supporting the men and women serving in the military. I appreciate your generosity and thoughtfulness. Thank you for sending a care package to my husband. This deployment has been difficult for us as we're on separate bases, but e-mail and Skype help us stay connected."

We give thanks for those serving in the military and pray for the day when they will return home to their families. We are certain your prayers and a note to them from time to time will be greatly appreciated.

If you have family members who are serving in the military, please contact Carol Uzzle, Minister for Teaching and Learning, here or 359-6041, ext. 117. With their permission we will also print their mailing address.
