More in ’24

January 6, 2024 - Uncategorized

COS’s Prisoners in Christ Restorative Justice team met for the first time in 2024 on Wednesday, Jan. 3, and approved moving forward to do “more in ’24.” We will sponsor a series of financial freedom classes in partnership with Reconciliation of Life and Project GREEN, especially geared to those who are impacted by poverty, crime, and incarceration.  Cindy Burch reported that 70X7 Life Recovery Cards for Prisoners is seeking “penpals” for 400 people in prison. Troy Rienstra told about his work with area churches in Pontiac, expanding their reach to share Good News with the poor – Life Change book groups, trauma-informed listening sessions, and education about the need to end slavery in our state. Both Lynette and Troy spoke to the slow, patient work of advocating for policy changes – Good Time, Clean Slate and Removal of the “Exception Clause” from the state constitution.
