"As Christians, we're a part of a much bigger story. The story precedes us and will continue after we're gone."
Upper Room Way of Pilgrimage website

All Jr. High youth are invited to join this pilgrimage to Birmingham, Alabama, as we pray with our feet and seek to see God in the unfolding story of racial reconciliation in our country. We will spend time reflecting upon the much bigger story of love we find ourselves in as people of faith, and ponder how God might be calling us to love people.

Our destination is the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute.

You are invited to be present in the experience and not anticipate what will happen every step of the way, as you trust those who will be leading you on this pilgrim's journey.

Get ready to hear the response "Participate, don't anticipate," to the questions "What are we doing next?" or "How much longer?" :)

Hope you will join us on this special pilgrimage shaped for you.

Sign up by Sunday, April 12, by turning in your $10 and health/permission form to Taunia Rice.

There will be a parents information/details meeting on Wednesday, April 15 at 5:45 pm in the 6th grade classroom on the 3rd floor.
