Mount Calvary Lutheran Church, 308 Petersburg Road, Neffsville, will host Dr. George Ghanem, a Christian who volunteers for Holy Land Christian Solidarity Cooperative, on Sunday, March 2. Ghanem will speak briefly after the 9 a.m. worship service.

Ghanem will share about Christians in Israel and the Gaza Strip. For decades, Christians in the Holy Land have experienced many hardships, such as reduced sources of income, including tourism; the wall built around Bethlehem; the COVID pandemic; and the current war.

Ghanem will offer olive wood religious pieces that Christian artisans have created. They will be available for sale after the worship service. To view samples, visit www.holylandcsc.com.
