Walk to Jerusalem,

a Lenten Journey With Jesus

Now through March 16th

 

Walk to Jerusalem is a walking program started by St. John Health parish nursing designed to increase physical, spiritual and mental health of participants. 

 

There’s still time to participate in Grace’s imaginary 7,900 mile walk over land & sea to Jerusalem.  A variety of ways are available to accumulate miles to accomplish our goal.  Pick up information on the table in the Lobby.  As of Feb. 19th, we have accumulated 7,000 miles.

 

Tally cards will be turned in at the end of each week or month to determine how many miles we have traveled toward our goal of reaching Jerusalem by Easter (March 23).  Maps around the church will track our trip.  Children & Youth are encouraged to participate with activities geared to their age abilities.
