HCEF invites you to travel with us from January 9 – 22, 2007 on an Ecumenical Pilgrimage and Fact Finding Mission to the Holy Land.  This trip will enable you to see the holy sites of Christianity and to meet the Christians of the Holy Land, the Living Stones.  A very special part of this Pilgrimage will be participating in the Third Ecumenical Children’s Christmas Celebration at the Nativity Church in Bethlehem. This celebration sponsored by HCEF will bring approximately 1000 Christian children aged 7 -13 from different Christian villages to celebrate Christmas at the place where the Prince of Peace was born  In addition, this pilgrimage will coincide with a meeting of Bishops and Christians leaders in Jerusalem and there will be opportunities for pilgrims to meet with them.

The cost is $2940 per person (double occupancy) which includes airfare from any major US city, lodging, all meals, local transportation, Christian guides, and sightseeing fees. Consider this trip as a Christmas gift for yourself or someone important to you.  For more information or to register please contact Gail Freeman, Pilgrimage Coordinator, at (301) 951-9400 x206 by December 1, 2006 or visit our website at  www.hcef.org

This is a chance for you to see the Holy Land in a new way; to worship and enjoy fellowship with the local Christians – an experience that will change you life. Make a commitment to support the Christians of the Holy Land by marching with the Christian children in Bethlehem to celebrate Christmas!
