one last message from the Holy Land

[lh...@stgtc.org]

Dear Friends,

Since my previous message, I have been to the healing pools at Bethsaida, to the Western Wall plaza, and the Southern Wall excavations. I've also toured the amazing Israel Museum, and observed the preparation for Shabat (Jewish Sabbath) at the Western Wall. I have been to Bethphage, where the triumphant entry began and the garden at Gethsemane. Finally, I walked the Via Dolorosa (way of the cross) that Jesus walked, and visited the Church of the Resurrection which contains the rock of Calvary and the tomb. I was overwhelmed.

It is finally time for me to get to the airport in Tel Aviv and head home to Texas. I plan to be at the service on Wednesday night. I hope you do, too.

I want to share my experience with you soon, and I am thinking that Sunday afternoon about 4:30 or 5:00 might be good.

You have been in my prayers during this entire pilgrimage. I know God has taken good care of you, and I look forward to seeing you late Wednesday.

Grace & peace,

Lillian+
