Pilgrimage to Montgomery, Alabama: February 18-20

Pilgrims from FELC journey to Montgomery, Alabama, February 18-20 to visit “The Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration” and “The National Memorial for Peace and Justice” sponsored by The Equal Justice Initiative.

Gracious God, we ask your blessing on those who make pilgrimage from our community of faith to Montgomery this week. Guide their minds as they learn of those who came before us, traveling the pilgrims way. Give them a hunger to seek your face in paths before them,
along roads trod by many seeking the blessing of your presence. Nurture their fellowship and help them to recognize the signs of you in those they meet, sharing the journey to your blessed kingdom. May they safely return to us, renewed, inspired, and called to share what they have experienced so that we may all journey the pilgrim’s way. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ the Lord. Amen.

A daily log of this pilgrimage will be published on the First English Lutheran Church-Austin Texas Facebook page. Check it out beginning February 18th.
