All In Community is a modern day, Biblical response to the impact of mass incarceration. At Powell UMC,
All In Community responses include:.
- The Drop Share Christmas joy with residents of Ohio’s prisons by sending them Christmas cards. You can preregister for packets of cards by clicking HERE. Once you have received the cards, pray for each person, write short notes, address the envelopes, and drop the cards in the mail on Dec. 15. For more information about this ministry supported by All In Community, contact sandyhuber@powellumc.org.
- Welcome Home Bags Welcome Home a Returning Citizen. A person released from prison or jail faces many challenges and often lacks essential items. During the month of February, pick up a bag at the mission table in the main hall, fill it with the personal care items listed and return it so that these essentials can be given to a re-entering citizen. Men’s items are especially needed. Individual items may be given instead of filling a bag. Contact sandyhuber@powellumc.org
- HOPE Letters is a regular mentoring correspondence with incarcerated men and women in Ohio’s state prisons. This is a signature initiative of the West Ohio Conference. Training and a year’s commitment is required. Contact sandyhuber@powellumc.org.
- Support of transitional sober living at Liberty and Unity Houses, Delaware OH. (Ministries of https://www.jacobsway.org/)
