A trip of a lifetime to the Holy Land

Led by Tom King & Paul Wright

Monday 11th - Monday 18th March 2024

On behalf of Bridge Community Church Radcliffe I would like to invite you on a trip of a lifetime to the Holy Land on Tuesday 12th March – Tuesday 19th March 2024.

This is a great opportunity to walk in the footsteps of Jesus. We will be taking communion on the shore of the Sea of Galilee and will journey through the sights.

Others who have experienced this before have shared with us that it’s like seeing the bible in 3D!!!

We are really looking forward to the adventure, hope you can come and join us.

Room Check In and Check Out Times
The standard international practice is to let rooms from midday to midday. However times do vary. Check-in times are usually between 2pm and 3pm, check-out times between 11am and 12 noon on the day of departure. Therefore, if you check-in immediately after a night flight this would normally count as one night’s accommodation. Similarly if your return flight is at night you will normally be required to vacate your room at 12 noon prior to leaving for the airport. Day rooms are subject to availability/cost and should be arranged locally with the accommodation management.

Testimonials

“The trip to the Holy Land was an exciting time of learning, travelling and fellowship. The tour guide exceeded expectations and gave new insights in to the Word of God, which was made a lot clearer when we understood more of our Jewish roots. The Bible seems more relevant now and it’s becoming more important for me to watch Israel; the time clock of the world.”
