On Tuesday I attended a pre-event luncheon for a gathering called “Nashville Celebrates Israel.”  The rally started last year, and is scheduled to take place this year on Sunday, October 20, 2013, in a location to be determined.

My friend Nick Serban of Full Life Assembly of God in Franklin hosted today’s luncheon (I loved his stage design . . . Nick and Kim Serban are talented at church architecture and design!).

I saw lots of friends at this event, including Michael Hines of the International Christian Embassy for Jerusalem, a ministry that CIL supports.

We committed as a church to get behind this event financially, as we support Israel, and want to be part of Nashville’s statement of solidarity with the Jewish people.
