St. Andrew’s Journey TogetherItaly: Religious Art, Culture & CuisineOctober 27-November 7, 2025

From the witnessing of art in Florence, to St. Francis in Assisi, to the martyrs in Rome, this travel experience explores the early church and Christians who lived and died to give witness to their faith. Learn about Christianity in its early centuries. We visit the amazing ruins of Pompeii, marvel at the beauty of the Amalfi Coast, and discover the ancient Roman civilization. Special visits to a winery and farm provide opportunities to enjoy and learn about Italian cuisine. Like ancient Christians before us, we worship , eat, laugh, and experience the joy of Christian community together.This custom-designed travel experience of 12 days and 10 nights takes place when temperatures are cooler and crowds are moderate. Italy’s Mediterranean climate offers an average high temperature in Rome, Florence, and Sorrento of 60 to 70°F during this season. The itinerary is being planned and paced through Carrousel Travel, Minneapolis, with multiple night stays: two nights in Florence, two nights in Assisi in the region of Umbria, three nights in the southern coastal city of Sorrento, and ending with three nights in Rome.

The Chosen has quickly become one of the most popular historical dramas about the life and teachings of Jesus. Each week we will discuss an episode from Season 1. Pastor Amy will summarize the episode you watched at home that week, and then lead a discussion about what you’ve seen and the Bible stories it portrayed. How close is the show to scripture? How can art expand our Biblical Imagination? Who is Jesus to you? We’ll explore all these questions and more in this intergenerational Bible Study open to High Schoolers through Adults!
