INTRODUCTION
In January 2026 Pastor Erik and Rich Taylor, a parishioner, are in a group trip to Palestine. Pastor Erik spent time in Palestine and will be visiting families and people he knows from that time. One friend is Rev. Dr. Imad Haddad who is being installed as Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan when Pastor and Rich are there.
While in the area they also plan to visit Episcopal and Lutheran Hospitals, visit and worship with the local Palestinians, visit The Church of the Holy Sepulture, and other areas as time permits.
The following are messages and photos from Pastor Erik updating us on the trip.
