Alabama Trip - Civil Rights + Faith Learning

Civil Rights + Faith Learning

Nine youth and two adults from our “Being the Church” congregations are heading to Alabama this June to explore their faith through a social justice lens. Participants are preparing by studying key figures and events; reading scripture; and meeting together for reflections and prayer.  In June, participants will visit historic and modern sites on the civil rights trail in Birmingham, Montgomery and Selma, Alabama.  

Trip participants will be visiting all of our worshipping congregations this spring to share some reflections, and show their appreciation to our churches.

Significant fundraising efforts are making this trip possible: thank you!  More are underway.  Donations to support a youth can be made directly via the QR Code or please contact Pastor Melinda about details re. personal check donations. (e: Melinda@BeingtheChurchLB.org)

$1,000 sponsors a youth.

Thank you for your continued support. As Pope Leo says, “we are helping the marginalized people.”  With the warmer weather, we need men’s and women’s shorts along with sheets, blankets and towels.  Please drop off items at any of our churches. Our team keeps busy handing out clothes and support items (hygiene kits, flashlights,, fast  food gift cards, shoes, socks, etc.) on our service days.  We hand out flyers a day or two ahead of time announcing our visit time; then our friends communicate with each other to advertise our visit. 

As usual on our last service day, the meal truck was operated by Jamie Armstead of Jumpstart Industries and Rev Dan Lewis of Grace UMC offered communion while folks were awaiting the hot lunch
