Every 18th Thursday, 5:30 PM - 8:00 PM
Coming Home
In 2023 we were able to successfully relaunch our Coming Home after three years off due to Covid. If you aren’t familiar with COMING HOME, it is an extension of our long-standing Prison Ministry at Rye Presbyterian Church. The program seeks to empower those who are returning to the community from incarceration. The 18-week program pairs RPC congregants with the formerly incarcerated to help them transition back into the community. Teaching sessions and a shared meal are on Thursday evenings. In 2024 we plan to begin on February 1 and conclude with graduation on Sunday, June 2.
This ministry offers several volunteer opportunities, including serving as mentors, who are paired with participants, supporting and encouraging them during the course of the program; as well as cooks who prepare and serve a meal enjoyed by the participants and RPC congregants who share table fellowship together. As always, we need a committed group of volunteers who will once again serve to make Rye Presbyterian Church a place of welcome to those who are returning home from prison. If you’d like more information, have questions, or are interest in serving as a mentor (for which we will offer training) or to cook a meal, please contact John Miller at 914-967-0842, ext. 14 or by email,
