Next year a small party will be in Jerusalem at this time to celebrate Pentecost (see explanation below**). A tour is being organized by Rev Stephen & Lesley Hardy, of the Barham benefice, which is called 'From Promise to Pentecost'. They will be starting in the book of Genesis at Abraham's Well at Beer Sheva, travel into Exodus and the wilderness to see the re-constructed Tabernacle of Moses, and then northwards to Galilee and the Gospels, where they start following in the footsteps of Jesus. This unique tour includes a night in a bedouin-style encampment, a dip in the Dead Sea, and a trip across Galilee on a boat. It ends up in Jerusalem where Jesus spent his last days, and where the early church began. Stephen, who has led a number of tours over the years, commented: "I do believe this is the best tour we have ever managed to put together. This is not just about seeing lots of places, it's about experiencing and understanding the world of the Bible. Lesley and I are really looking forward to it, and invite you to join us."
