Ireland & England with St. Andrew UMC
May 29, 2022
Welcome
We invite you to join St. Andrew Travel Ministry’s Kay Richardson, with pastor Arthur Jones, on the 2022 tour to Ireland and England.
We will travel to Ireland, and tour beautiful cathedrals, castles, the Cliffs of Moher, drive through the Irish countryside, and more.
Then, we will explore John Wesley’s heritage in Oxford and London, as well as tours of museums, Westminster Abby, Stonehenge and much more.
This will be a great blend of many guided tours, as well as free time to explore. Most meals and all tour fees are included, as well as a professional tour guide. As always, your friends are welcome to join the group!
