to Israel in 2007 to take a group from OCEC and that dream was reignited
during our sabbatical last year. We will join with others from across our Conference for
an incredible, life changing journey. Please let us know of your interest. You can write a
note on a worship card, talk to us in person, call or email to [email protected].
