Sawyerville Person2Person

One of Sawyerville’s three goals is to improve race relations in Alabama. Over the Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend, we offer a 4 day experience where youth and young adults are able to have meaningful conversations on race in Alabama, pilgrimage to sites throughout Montgomery, and worship together.

We welcomed 12 participants and staff from all over the Diocese to a retreat hosted at St. John’s Montgomery. High school students, college students, and adults spent the weekend learning about race in Alabama. We visited the Legacy Museum, the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, the Civil Rights Memorial, the Harris House, Freedom Rides Museum, and St. Paul AME Church.

We’re so thankful to St. John’s, Montgomery for hosting the event and to those who offered their prayers! If you’d like to be involved with Person2Person, contact Bre Mitchell at bmitchell@dioala.org.
