Fort Monroe Learning Trip

The VMC Racial Justice Task Force (RJTF) is sponsoring a learning trip to Hampton, Virginia from October 11-13th. The group will visit Fort Monroe, the site of the arrival of the first enslaved Africans on American soil in 1619, and connect with brothers and sisters from VMC at C3 Hampton, over a meal and in Sunday worship. (Pending interest, one car may return to the Harrisonburg area Saturday for pastors who need to be at church Sunday morning.) Register your interest here to get updates as planning continues, and feel free to extend this invitation to interested members of your congregation.

UPDATE: We currently have 2 open spaces in the van.  If you are interested in joining the group, please contact Aldine Musser, ([email protected] or 540-236-8579).  We will begin our guided tour at the Visitor and Education Center (30 Ingalls Road) at 9:30am on Saturday, October 12.  The plan is to leave Harrisonburg in the afternoon on October 11 and return to Harrisonburg, October 13 after joining C3, (a VMC congregation in Hampton) for Sunday worship.
