2024 Holy Land Trip

January 25, 2024 - February 3, 2024

Bishop Leila is leading a trip to the Holy Land in 2024, and you’re invited.

“Dear friends in Christ,

Come and See the land God has declared Holy! Come and meet the living stones and connect with the stories of our faith! In January 2024, we will tour biblical sites, learn about the work of the Lutheran World Federation, Peace Not Walls, hear from Palestinian Christians, dwell in God’s Word, and most importantly: worship.  During this trip we will remember our baptism at the Jordan River and float on the Dead Sea. We will go to the Sea of Galilee and reflect on the Mount of the Beatitudes. We will journey together on holy land with eyes to see and ears to hear what this place and its people have to share about a faith that moves mountains and feeds the hungry for food and justice. So join us, dear ones, as we journey together with God’s help and in Jesus’ name.

+Bishop Leila M. Ortiz”
