After a dinner at the culturally divergent restaurant\, Velvet Elvis\, we’ll return to our resort lodging\, perhaps dipping into the heated outdoor pool before evening blessings and bedtime. \nThursday\, Friday\, and Saturday we will gather with other persons from across the United States and Canada\, at the annual event called Commonground on the Border. A mission of The Good Shepherd\, United Church of Christ congregation\, Commonground… brings together persons who have similar questions to the ones we all have about immigration. Through field trips\, workshops\, speakers\, and conversations we will learn and process new information; by engaging music\, writing\, and the visual arts\, pilgrims find common ground at this three-day event and find joy and celebration in the midst of confronting the humanitarian tragedies of immigration. This year’s keynote speaker is international Civil Rights icon\, Dolores Huerta\, a friend and co-worker of Cesar Chavez\, and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012. \nSunday\, prior to our departure from home\, we will worship at The Southside Presbyterian Church in Tucson\, founding church of the Sanctuary Movement. These are some of the things you will do on this pilgrimage. \nPLEASE NOTICE: High School students\, under 18 years old\, are welcome to participate in this event if they are accompanied and registered by a Custodial Parent/Legal Guardian.  \nFor a full information packet including itenarary\, speaker bios\, field trip and class session options\, and more\, please contact: Rev Brenda Grauer pilgrimagebjg2024@gmail.com or Cell: 216 533 5546.
