Civil Rights Spiritual Pilgrimage

October 16, 2023
Thank you for prayerfully considering participating in the Civil Rights Sacred Journey, taking place January 5th-7th, 2024.

A mural found in Montgomery, Alabama quotes Maya Angelou, "History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again." This is a learning journey, to engage all our senses, trusting that learning with committed partners will transform us and challenge us to practice living deeper into beloved community. This is part of our work as followers of Jesus Christ!
