The Last Supper

Co-leaders Tom and Todd are grateful for the expressions of gratitude.
Tom was given a beautiful icon of Jesus and the disciples; Todd was
given an impressive Jerusalem cross. Thanks everyone!

Melvin and Dave - ready to go home

Closing worship and communion

Our final time of worship together on the pilgrimage was held in the
old stone chapel of the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in the Old
City. We sang, heard Ephesians 3 and Acts 1 in a new way, all shared a
symbol of what we were taking home with us from Jerusalem, broke the
bread and shared the cup, and then closed with joyful embraces as we
passed the peace of Christ one to another.

In the middle of the day....

All five senses come alive along these lanes

Locals come hear to prepare their savory dishes

The narrow, colorful, exciting lanes of the Old City

At any given intersection, one can hear over a half dozen languages,
view the dress of nearly continent, and dodge the local children
playing in the streets
