We often see Biblical lands as far off--way over there, and that geographical distance makes the stories that much more distant in space as well as time. Walking in the footsteps of Biblical heroes can be profound in making the stories that much more real. But many of us don't have the opportunity to do so. Yet, it can be done (somewhat) vicariously. Pastor Jacob and Sarah took a "Footsteps of St. Paul" trip to many of the places mentioned in the Bible associated with St. Paul in March. We welcome you to a "Footsteps of Paul" journey through some of their photos and discussion on Tuesday, May 16 at Grace Lutheran. Potluck dinner at 6:00; presentation at 6:30.
