Confirmation Civil Rights Bus Tour 2010
Martin Luther King Jr. weekend, January 15-18, 2010, Confirmation students from all over the conference will embark on the Civil Rights Bus Tour. We will travel from North Texas to Montgomery, Birmingham, Selma and Memphis. This bus trip to Selma, Montgomery and Birmingham, Alabama and to Memphis, Tennessee to retrace the steps of Dr. King and other civil rights heroes will be a memorable one. This area of the country was the setting for many history-making achievements by African Americans and courageous whites.
During the visit, we will relive the experience of the bravery of the people who endured Bloody Sunday, then made the harrowing Selma to Montgomery march for voting rights. We will be better able to understand the inspiring words of Dr. King who led the March as well as get to know the unsung heroes, ordinary men and women who risked their lives to register Blacks to vote. Rosa Parks' nonviolent protest in Montgomery inspired a movement that helped give Blacks equal access to public facilities. Birmingham and Memphis are also two meccas of civil rights history.
Along this journey, we will learn the importance of civil rights to our Christian discipleship and what it means to transform the world. Help us to create a place where all people, equally, can know the love of God through inclusion and embrace.
The Confirmation Celebration with the Bishop will be held on February 7, 2010 at FUMC-Denton from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Please register your group at http://confirmationbishop2010.eventbrite.com

Children's Ministers of the North Texas Conference are invited to network with each other and learn about other ministries in the Conference. The Office of Life Stage Ministries will host these events once per month (except June, July and December) at various churches and agencies around our Conference. The on-going vision of these events will be to develop and promote "best practices," support, nurture, share information and advance children's ministries.
