Dear Beloved in the Episcopal Church in Connecticut,
“The Lord shall watch over your going out and your coming in, from this time forth for evermore.” — Psalm 121:8
We are grateful to have just landed safely in New York after our flight from Jordan. We have felt deeply supported by all of your prayers for us. And we are grateful for your prayers for our siblings in the Holy Land, and for all living under the threat of violence and war right now.
We look forward to sharing with you about our pilgrimage in the weeks to come.
Please continue to pray for a swift, just, and peaceful end to this conflict, and for all peoples of the Holy Land who remain in harm’s way.
May the peace that passes all understanding be upon them, from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth.
With our love and prayers,
Rt. Rev. Jeffrey W. Mello & the Rev. Ryan C. Fleenor, Pilgrimage Leaders
