?The youth group from Assembly Mennonite Church is on a
Christ at the Border Just Peace Pilgrimage from June 24-30, where they will learn about the realities of migration, including the reasons causing it, as well as how churches and faith communities are responding to it.
We will be sharing their activities here throughout the week.
Just Peace Pilgrimages explore what God is doing to bring about justice and peace in the world and ways in which we can participate in such movements. Mission Network invites Sunday School classes, youth groups and friends to join a pilgrimage and learn together how to walk in solidarity and celebration of life.
On June 26, Assembly Mennonite Church youth group joined Eddie Canales, founder of the South Texas Human Rights Center (STHRC) to fill water stations throughout Brooks County where migrating people can find a drink in the South Texas desert. The STHRC is the organization that started and maintains the water stations. Photo provided.
