TheDEEP in Israel, March 9th & 16th




Don't miss the visit!




I got a chuckle with this sign showing the way to Lazarus Tomb. Sort of takes a little away from "the holiness" of the sight.




Just wanted to give you a teaser of some of the pictures we'll be showing, as mentioned in Sue's note below. We will be sharing our pictures and stories and reflections from our journey. On the 9th, we'll focus on the Sea of Galilee and surrounding areas, and on the 16th, we'll focus on Jerusalem and surrounding areas.




Look at these photos. The one on the left is a photo from the 30's, when a group from England purchased "The Garden Tomb". This is how the rock appeared then... the rock is supposedly the site known as Golgotha. You see the eyes and mouth in this shot. The picture below is one I took from atop the Jerusalem wall, overlooking the bus terminal that now covers the nose and mouth of Golgatha. See the eyes?


Eerie, huh?
There are tombs atop this rock, where Jesus may have been crucified.
Come see more this Sunday evening at 5:00 p.m. A nursery will be provided and we will finish promptly at 6:30.
Cya there!
-Rev. Beth
