HOLY LAND TOUR

Are you interested in touring the Holy Land? Stops will include Jerusalem, Galilee, Bethlehem and Petra, plus other interesting areas. Ann and Sam Foster, formerly with the Raleigh Rescue Mission, and friends of many members of Ephesus, are leading a 14-day tour to the Holy Land departing November 1, 2010, from three different locations: New York, Charlotte and Raleigh/Durham.

The cost from Raleigh/Durham is $3,816 (includes tax, tips, fees) per person, but not insurance, which will cost an additional $249 each. Suggest you resister before June. If interested, contact Ann Foster at 336-372-6468. There is a brochure on the bulletin board outside the kitchen area. Extra copies of the brochure are available on the Bridge and in the church office.
