JERUSALEM, Israel – A Bellingham church group stuck in Israel is set to return home in the coming days.

Pastor Grant Fishbook with Christ the King Church in Bellingham is leading a group of 57 people on a visit to the Holy Land.

He says they were visiting Jerusalem’s Old City on Saturday when air raid sirens sounded.

The group’s original flight home on Wednesday, October 11th, was cancelled but they traveled to Jordan and are scheduled to fly home today.

Fishbook says the group is safe and they are praying for everyone affected by the outbreak of violence.
