THE LATEST FROM PASTOR MATTHEW | FEBRUARY 3, 2025
​
Greetings,
This morning, I was thrilled to see the first news report on our local station announcing that Delta Airlines will resume flights to Israel this coming spring. This development not only signifies excitement but is also a powerful indicator of safety in Israel. Now is the perfect time to consider visiting Israel, as this move by a leading airline clearly demonstrates confidence in the region's stability and safety. With this said, I would love for you to join me for the trip of a lifetime in February of 2026.
​
Please review the itinerary and cost details below. Then plan to join me at one of our informational meetings immediately following Sunday service on either February 9, 16, or 23 in the Morgan County High School Media Center.
​
In closing, feel free to reach out to me with any questions. You can contact me at matthew@madisonmc.net. We leave in 372 days!
