Pilgrimage to Syria 16-25 September 2010. Led by the Revd. Peter Farrell

This pilgrimage (with McCabe Travel) includes visits to sites associated with St. Paul and the earliest Christian communities and he famous pillar ascetic, St. Simeon the Stylite; also the greatest of all the Crusader castles, the Crac des Chevaliers, and the fabulous Roman cities of Palmyra, Apamaea and Bosra.  The weather should be warm but not too hot, with good long days for exploring.  The price is yet to be confirmed but is likely to be somewhere between £1500 and £1600 all-in except for gratuities and pocket money.
Flight would be via British Midland from Heathrow to Damascus.

Pilgrimage to Israel

Stephen Thornton, Minister with the United Reformed Church in Fleet, is an experienced leader of Pilgrimages to Israel/Palestine, and is leading a pilgrimage there from October 19 to 28, 2010. With the growing relationship between the Church of England and the United Reformed Church in Fleet, it would be good if some of us could join the party.

We will be visiting Jerusalem. Bethlehem, the Judean Wilderness, Jericho, Masada and the Dead Sea (for a float), before going north to Galilee to visit Nazareth, Cana, Mt Tabor, Capernaum and the scene of Jesus' Lakeside Ministry. As well as following the footsteps of Jesus, we will be exploring the present situation between Israel and the Palestinians.

A journey of a lifetime. If you would like to know more, or would like a brochure, please ring Stephen on 409494. Go on - give him a ring
