The Middle East Task Force of Foothills Presbytery is planning a seven week study: An Introduction to Holy Land Issues, and the Witness of Palestinian Christians. The dates and topics are: January 9 - It's Our Land!; January 23 - A Brief Modern View of Palestine and Israel; January 30 - What is it Like to Live in Occupied Territory?; February 13 - The Big Picture: Politics and Conflict; February 27 - A Word of Faith, Hope, and Love; March 12 - The Reality on the Ground; and March 26 - What Does the Lord Require of Us?  All of these studies will take place 9:30-10:30 at the presbytery office. If you would like to participate in this Middle East Study, please call the presbytery office at 288-5774 to sign up or email ssharpe@foothillspresbytery.org or lwhite@foothillspresbytery.org.

The Middle East is in the news each day, but sometimes it is difficult to keep up with developments in the area. This is a very condensed study of a very complicated problem, but our hope is that it will give people a theological, historical and social framework of the issues from the perspective of the Middle East Task Force.
