Tension

Displaced parishioners
sheltering in our church hall

The day before saw deadly violence as Israeli soldiers entered Palestine to raid the city of Nablus. 11 dead and hundreds wounded. 

There was a stabbing attack, possibly in revenge, at the outskirts fo Jerusalem. Gaza fired rockets into Israel this morning. Police are anticipating more revenge attacks. Arabs have called for a day of strike - shops are closed throughout our area. Things are escalating fast.

The weather has warmed up alot and the almond trees are blossoming. Summer is in. I was told by my doc that I need sunlight for vitamin D. Well this summer looks to be very sunny and hot so there'll be no shortage of sunlight. Let's hope this will help our poor people in Syria who are still suffering from the cold in the Orontes Valley. Anyway your help is still needed to alleviate the tragedy of our Christians in that region.
