We have many tools to help Bible stories come alive for us: maps, study guides, commentaries, different translations. But nothing brings more aha! moments and enhances understanding better than traveling to the places and getting to know the context that surrounds and shapes the story.
Pastor Lisa will be leading a group to Greece and Turkey, to some of the places where Paul preached and ministered, from April 19-29, 2026. We will visit Thessaloniki, Philippi, the amazing Meteora monasteries built on rocks high in the clouds, Delphi, Athens, a 4-day cruise excursion taking us to Mykonos, Ephesus (Turkey), Patmos, Rhodes, Crete, and Santorini; and Corinth, before returning to Athens for departure. Full information is available now at eliastours.com; let Pr. Lisa knows if you are interested in hearing more about it or know someone who might like to go.
Also: we will be having an interest meeting at 7 pm on Sunday evening, Sept. 28 via zoom with Eli-as, the head of Elias tours. You can join from here at church, the comfort of your own home, or wherever you happen to be! Let Pr. Lisa know of your interest so she can send you the zoom link for the meeting. Feel free to invite others! This is a great way to get your questions answered by the experts!
