Support Holy Land Artists

When Pastor O'Brien was in Israel in 2023, he met Elias Ghareeb who helped guide his Holy Land trip. On that trip many of the pilgrims purchased olive wood souvenirs in support of the local artisans. 

To help the people in Bethlehem and surrounding communities, Elias has asked if we would be willing to purchase artisan craft items.  There are carvings, crosses of different size and shape, prayer beads, necklaces, small nativity carvings, and assorted items of various prices.  Elias has provided a catalogue of all the items he has available.  You can download the catalogue at the link below.  I will also have a printed copy available at the church.  All proceeds from all sales will be sent back to Israel in support of the artisans and their families.  If you are looking for small gift for a friend or an item for yourself, that also support families in Israel this would be a great investment.  These items would also make wonderful Christmas gifts if you are looking to support a good cause with your gift.  

If you would like to make an order, let Pastor O'Brien know the item numbers and quantity and he will place an order for the group at the beginning of November.  

Please let Pastor O'Brien know if you have any questions.
