Twenty-four individuals from our congregation left February 23 for a 12-day visit to Jordan and Israel, sponsored by the Pilgrims of Ibillin. While in Israel, they will visit the Mar Elias schools in Ibillin and will worship in Haifa with Archbishop Elias Chacour. Rev. Deborah Knott will be sending us regular reports on their journey. This is her first post; check back often for more news of the travelers.
