Person2Person: A Race Relations Pilgrimage

One of our three goals is to improve race relations in Alabama; this event helps us do just that. At Person2Person, young people can learn and discuss together alongside lay leaders, clergy, and the Sawyerville directors. The group will participate in a pilgrimage across Montgomery, visiting sites that speak to our shared history and to the future of Alabama. 

Person2Person 2019

.The next Person2Person will be Friday, January 18 - Monday, January 21, 2019 in Montgomery, Alabama. Young people ages 16-20 who have staffed Sawyerville Summer Camp are invited to apply to attend. The online application will open in November and close in early January. Applicants will be admitted on a rolling basis so that participants can plan accordingly. Space is limited!

Participants can expect:
  • field trips to several historic and important sites around Montgomery
  • conversations on faith and race relations, the history of civil rights in Alabama, current civil rights issues, and what to do with the knowledge and experience gained over the weekend
  • meaningful worship and Bible study tied to the program
​
We will stay in a local church and meals will be provided. There is no cost for participants to attend, but donations are always welcome.
