Pastor's Message

For two weeks in June, I will be traveling with a group of more than twenty area pastors to Israel/Palestine. New Testament Professor Shane Berg, from Princeton Theological Seminary, will be leading the trip that is being sponsored by the Cousins Foundation. Dave Davis and Luke Powery will be leading worship for the group throughout the trip. Luke teaches speech and preaching at the seminary and Dave is the pastor at Nassau Presbyterian Church.

The pastors’ group is multi-cultural and inter-denominational. Half of the pastors are from Trenton and half from surrounding communities. All are community leaders who serve beyond their local congregations as well. The group has been meeting for months ahead of time and will continue to meet afterward. The prayerful hope is that unique and
lasting relationships will be forged along the way that will form a foundation for further ministry together in the days to come.

The itinerary includes visits, conversations, reflection, Bible study, and worship. The group will be around the Sea of Galilee, in Jerusalem, in the West Bank, in Bethlehem, and at Qumran and the Dead Sea. An itinerary of the trip is posted in the church office.

Grace and peace,
Anita
