Coming Home: Thursdays, thru May 30

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 Coming Home begins on February 1 and will 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. We also need volunteers who prepare (or purchase) 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, contact John Miller at 914-967-0842, ext. 14 or by email, .  To prepare and help serve a meal, contact Margaret Blum, We look forward to hearing from you soon!
