From Naomi Cordill: 2022 Passion Play
In June, we had a wonderful, long-awaited trip to Europe. And the Passion Play was very moving and memorable. Europe was wonderful, and warmer than we had planned! There were only 7 of us who were able to make the trip, as one was not able to travel and two had just returned from Israel, after being in quarantine for two weeks-so doctors would not let them travel again so quickly. But they are well now and were fortunate to take the place of a couple in another tour.
