    Then he said, “Do not come near; take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” Exodus 3:5 ESV 

    Journey through the Bible with Bishop Héctor A. Burgos Núñez and experience the Fifth Gospel on a sacred trip to the Holy Land. Follow in the footsteps of Jesus in a faith-filled adventure with Bishop Héctor and other United Methodists of Upper New York.  

    Mark your calendar for this once in a lifetime trip now planned for 2025. The trip was origninally planned for Sept. 17-27, 2024, but due to the ongoing violence in the Middle East, the trip is being postponed. See the cave where Jesus was born, visit the Church of the Nativity, sail across the Sea of Galilee, stand on the Mount of Olives, and experience much more. Following this trip, you will never sing “O Little Town of Bethlehem” or hear the Sermon on the Mount the same way again.  

    Learn the history, deepen your faith, and start saving today. More information about the trip and travel dates will be released when available.
