Coming up in Local Outreach
Family Day at Metro Reentry Center
Saturday, September 9, 18 and older
Two Shifts: 8:00 am – 12:00 pm, or 12:00 pm – 3:30 pm
Volunteer to create a Fall Festival and serve lunch at Metro Reentry Center for returning citizens and their families. This year our theme will be “Fiesta!” We will have a taco bar, games, piñatas, ice cream, popcorn, cotton candy, musical chairs, DJ, and dancing! We will raffle off art and flower baskets created in the prison by the men.
Metro Reentry Center is a prison for men that have 24 months left to serve and are non-violent offenders. For more information, contact Beth Spencer at beths@prumc.org.
Help End Youth Violence
Peachtree Road is partnering with the US Attorney’s office to find solutions to end youth violence. If you or your business want to get involved in helping with this crisis, contact Beth Spencer at beths@prumc.org.
Welcome Home House
The Restoration Partners Prison Ministry of Peachtree Road is excited to announce we have broken ground on a four-bedroom home for women transitioning out of prison. We are partnering with Atlanta Habitat and the City of Refuge. Our goal is for returning citizens that are rehabilitated to “come home” to a new life and not re-offend again. For more information, contact Beth Spencer at beths@prumc.org.
Outreach to others is one of the most vital components of our faith. We are passionate about making our communities a better place for all. By serving others, we feel the transformative power of our beliefs and see the positive change that it brings to the world. As we continue our work of empowering people and building sustainable programs, we see a light and a renewed resolution in those we touch. The greatest things happen when we listen to God’s call, open our hearts wide, and serve.
Harp’s Christmas Kindness
Christmas Outreach
Harp’s Christmas Kindness brings the joy of the season to the working poor and homeless families of Atlanta. At our unique Christmas shop, families who qualify can select gifts at no cost to them. The church provides a selection of toys and coats for parents to take home to their children, and a little something for themselves, such as cookware or a small appliance. This ministry gives peace, hope and love to those who may have lost it. Harp’s Christmas Kindness is only possible through your generous donations.
The Season of Service
40 days of helping others in our community
Our annual Season of Service is 40 days of helping others in our community. This Lent, let God know you are listening and ready to serve according to the Lord’s will. Invest your time in someone else’s life and see God in the faces of those you help. You will enrich your Lenten journey and understand your faith in a new way.
Habitat for Humanity
Home Build
PRUMC and Habitat believe that every person should have access to a decent, safe and affordable place to live. Because of that belief, we team up each year to build homes for hard-working families.
Our strong partnership with Habitat is founded on its mission of sustainability. Each recipient of a Habitat Home works by our side to build the home. They also attend required homeownership education classes on maintenance, budgeting, and more. Because of this type of “hand up” outreach, we are building better communities that last.
This is a fun and rewarding volunteer opportunity that builds homes, communities, and hope.
