Communion & Confirmation Classes
For centuries, in order to draw closer to God, and to participate in Jesus’ life on earth,
many pilgrims have journeyed to the Holy Land, some on foot. In a similar fashion to both
Jesus and those pilgrims, we, together, this Lent, will “walk to Jerusalem,” by pooling our
miles. This year, our route to Jerusalem will cover 6,500 miles over seven weeks, and we
will begin our travels Sunday, February 19 (Ash Wednesday is February 22). To sign up,
come to the WtoJ table outside the Chapel and talk to the Episcopal Health Ministry @ St.
Andrew’s representative.
