Cuba
Fall 2010
Cost: $2,000*
A group from Trinity is traveling to Cuba this fall. The Rev. David Burns will be leading the trip which will include visiting our friends at La Playa Presbyterian Church in Matanzas, Luyano Presbyterian Church in Havana, and First Dora E. Valentin Presbyterian Church in Varadero. The trip will also include a visit to the Theological Seminary of Matanzas, which Trinity helps support. The purpose of the trip is to strengthen and deepen the relationship we have with our Cuban brothers and sisters and to understand how we can work together to build a bridge between our two countries. A similar trip is planned for the spring.
Palestine
April or May 2010
Joining Hands subcommittee from the Greater Atlanta Presbytery is sponsoring a trip to Palestine/Israel in late April - early May 2010, led by Fahed Abu-Akel and Sarah Humphrey. The group will visit our sister networks in the West Bank. In addition, we will visit organizations working toward peace and reconciliation in Israel/Palestine, as well as visit historical sites in the Old City of Jerusalem and in the Galilee area. For more information, contact Trinity representative Shirley Mills at wemills@bellsouth.net, or Sarah Humphrey at answertohunger@bellsouth.net.
