In August of 2022, Trinity Church was awarded a Renewal Leave Grant from the Lilly Foundation, Inc. On June 1, Chris will begin a 3-month Sabbatical Leave. This truly is a gift & the grant makes it possible for us to travel to some of the historical Biblical sites associated with the Apostle Paul – Rome, Malta, Syracuse, Athens, Corinth, Ephesus, Cypress & Israel. All of these historic sites will provide inspiration for future sermons.
We’ll arrive in Genoa, Italy on June 2nd, and board the MSC Divina on June 3rd. As an occupational hazard, I’m sure we’ll visit numerous historic churches as we always do. We also plan to get lots of rest, enjoy some sun & vitamin sea, hit the gym, indulge in great food, reconnect with one another & spend quality time with God.
We’ll take lots of pictures along the way & write additional blog posts most days. Our European itinerary is posted in the Travel page so you can follow our trip. We’ll update the Travel page with a few pics from each day as well as add photos to the Snapshots page. Oh, & the food… check out the Food page for all the interesting things we’ll eat. We are grateful to our church for this gift & thankful Lifehouse has generously given Dolli extended time away from work to travel during the renewal leave. Please pray for us during our journey.
We hope you have fun tagging along with us as you enjoy the journey with Dolli & Chris!
