Praying Hands from the Holy Land

The praying hands discovered in the Columbia United Methodist Church Time Capsule were brought back from the Holy Land by pastor Rachel James 25 years ago. She and church treasurer, Jane Akin Keltner, went on a trip to the Holy Land in January of 1995. The trip was led by Bishop Robert Morgan, and several lay persons and pastors from the Louisville and Kentucky Conferences went on the trip. For information on the Time Capsule discoveries and next steps, contact the church at 270-384-2276. Comments | Permalink Meeting the Bernheim Giants

The public enjoys meeting Bernheim's 'family of Forest Giants in a Giant Forest'. Mama Loumari relaxes and enjoys nature, while her two 'kid giants' are out exploring. Little Elina loves to play with rocks while Little Nis (in this photo) is fascinated with his own reflection. The large scale wooden 'Forest Giants' at Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest in Clermont, KY was created in celebration of Bernheim's 90th anniversary. Matilda Anne Waggener and her Dad, Tom, explored the Giants and the beautiful covered walkways along the path on her 10th birthday. Comments | Permalink Can you name them?
