"Get on the Bus": A Civil Rights Pilgrimage
This pilgrimage will take us into the heart of the civil rights movement as experienced in the 60's and onward, as well as challenge us to take our experiences into our own day.
This pilgrimage is co-sponsored by the Centers for Christian Studies and the Commission to Dismantle Racism.
This pilgrimage is based on the one sponsored for young people of the diocese. Our journeys will include such places as the 16th St. Church and the Civil Rights Museum in Birmingham, a walk across the bridge in Selma, attending a Sunday School class with Jimmy Carter, Memphis and Montgomery.
Glenda McDowell, parishioner at St. Matthias, will help with the leadership of the pilgrimage.

double occupancy) Cost includes room, complimentary breakfast, gas for vans and admission costs. Does no include lunch and dinner.
