Malcolm
& Sue Raby
warmly invite you to join them on a Pilgrimage to
JORDAN
When we think of the "Holy Land", most of us think of Israel/Palestine, but there is a wonderful land, full of biblical heritage, to the east
of the Jordan River - the land of JORDAN. The trip will take place 5th - 12th October 2010
and a brochure giving full details is available in church or contact Malcolm.
It really is a great country to
visit, and highlights (of which there are many) will include:
- Petra
- Wadi Rum
- Lot's Cave
- Baptismal site (where Jesus was probably baptised)
- Mount Nebo
(where Moses was told he would not enter the Promised Land)
- Machaerus (where
John the Baptist was imprisoned)
- Dead Sea
