GO | CAMINO TRIP

Some of the most momentous scenes in the Bible happen on a journey. Think of the Israelites' journey through the desert in Exodus, or Jesus' forty days in the desert following his baptism, or Paul's multiple ministry trips across Europe and Asia.

So it may make sense for us to spend some time on a journey of our own. Like, a literal journey, on foot, across a considerable distance.

Next May, some members of Downtown Church will be doing just that. We'll be following the footsteps of medievals who began to pilgrimage at least a thousand years ago to Santiago, Spain, where St. James is said to have been buried. We'll walk about 65 miles over five days, wandering through picturesque medieval towns, visiting historic churches, and enjoying the Spirit's presence with us the whole way.

The trip will take a total of ten days and nine nights, from May 16 to May 25. The cost will be around $1000, (without airfare), lodging, insurance, and about half of our meals. (Note: It doesn't cover the cost of your passport or your gear.)

If you'd like to be a part of that trip, please do join us for an information session on August 10 at 11:45am after the second service. If for any reason you can't make that information session, don't fret! Get in touch with Pastor Mary and she can talk with you about the trip.
