On Sunday, May 18th, at the 10 AM service, we have a unique opportunity to welcome Tracie Ortman, the passionate Executive Director of Bright Stars of Bethlehem, to Prince of Peace Lutheran Church. Tracie will share an enlightening update on the current situation in Gaza and the West Bank, shedding light on the hope and resilience that continue to flourish amidst challenges.

Prepare to be inspired as she discusses the significant impact our church is having on Dar al-Kalima University, a pioneering institution dedicated to arts, culture, and design—the first of its kind in all of Palestine. This is not just an update; it’s a call to action!

Join us for an engaging session as Tracie unveils the exciting developments surrounding the new Hospitality Education Center, a beacon of hope for the community. She’ll recount her transformative visit to Bethlehem in March, sharing heartfelt stories that reveal both the struggles and the triumphs of the people she encountered.

Don’t miss this chance to deepen your understanding and connect with the growing spirit of hope as we look towards a brighter future in 2025. Together, let’s gather in fellowship and support the vibrant potential emerging from this beautiful region. Your presence and participation can make a real difference!
