the group attended worship at Otey Parish, where Deacon Betty Carpenter serves as the director of the Community Action Committee, the group which coordinated our travelers' work. The group also toured the Sewanee: University of the South, which is partly owned by the Diocese of Georgia.

The group included eight youth from seven different congregations in the Diocese, and three adults from three different congregations! The leaders thank everyone who supported the travelers on their mission and pilgrimage journey.

St. Anne's Tifton has five middle school youth and three adults traveling to Atlanta July 9-13. They will work with Emmaus House, which is a ministry sponsored by the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta. During the summer Emmaus House offers day camps for children in the surrounding neighborhood. St. Anne's youth will help as group leaders and teachers' assistants for the day camp. The group will also enjoy a tour of the Cathedral of St. Phillip, a picnic dinner at Stone Mountain, and a visit to the new National Center for Civil and Human Rights. 

Teens at St. Paul's Albany help load cars with food for needy families as a part of Second Harvest.
