Last year, three members participated in a PCC-sponsored tour to Palestine and Israel. While there, they visited the Olive Tree Campaign, a peace initiative that has planted more than 80,000 olive trees—a local symbol of hope and prosperity—in areas disturbed by both construction of the West Bank barrier and the activities of Israel’s military forces. Upon their return, the church raised enough money to plant a grove of over 80 olive trees. Pictured here are campaign volunteers Laura Smith, Jeanie Hicks and Judy Dodds.
