This past Sunday afternoon, the volunteers from Revelations of Faith were at Cherry Street, setting up for worship. They led the service, sang, prayed and then stayed. Stayed to talk, to listen, to sit with the men afterward instead of packing up and leaving. That's the part that doesn't always make it into the announcement, but it's the part that matters most. Thank you for treating fellowship as part of the ministry, not an afterthought.

You don't have to figure this out alone.

Coming home after incarceration comes with a hundred questions: where to live, how to find work, who you can trust. FJPM's Restoration Center is here for exactly that. Weekly programs are open to any man who's been incarcerated, whether or not you went through our Transition to Work program.

At the Restoration Center you'll find:
🔹 A weekly small group with real conversation, real support, no judgment
🔹 NA meetings starting in September
🔹 A place where guys who've walked this road understand what you're carrying

📍Come as you are. Check out the full calendar of events: www.fjpm.org/transition-to-work/

Today's Wednesday Word of Encouragement is from Holly Solomon Kessler, Director of Community Engagement.

I recently watched a video from Will Guidara, restauranteur and best-selling author. Will says that to practice hospitality with one another, we must be present, not take ourselves too seriously, and see the uniqueness in others.

That's what we do in our work at FJPM. We welcome all who come to the chapel. We sit with them through some of the most difficult times they will face. We take our work seriously and live up to our core values without taking ourselves too seriously. And, we see each individual in the unique human dignity God gave them.

May we keep offering that same welcome, remembering that every person who walks through our doors is worthy of it, because God made them so.

"Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it." - Hebrews 13:2

Last week, we were honored to have Miller Allen speak at 7 Habits. At 87 years young and married for 66 years, Miller brings a lifetime of wisdom every time he takes the mic. He challenged the men to make wise decisions and to live lives that truly count for Christ.

Thank you, Miller, for your faithfulness as a speaker, as a longtime volunteer, and as an example to all of us of what it looks like to finish well. We're grateful for you! 🙏

🙏 A huge thank you to the volunteers from Bethany Baptist Church and Twin City Bible Church who led worship at the jail today! Your willingness to show up, share your gifts, and bring the message of hope to those who are often forgotten means more than you know. Seeds were planted today, and we're so grateful for hearts willing to serve in this way. Thank you for being the hands and feet of Christ in a place that needs it most. ❤️

Prayer Point: For the Incarcerated

🙏 This week we're praying for those behind bars.

That hearts would be open to hear and receive the gospel
Freedom from shame, bitterness, and hopelessness
Protection from violence and negative influences inside
Real, lasting transformation — not just words, but changed lives
Peace and God's presence for those in isolation
"Remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering." — Hebrews 13:3

Will you join us in praying this week? 🕊️

Something worth noticing: volunteers from Calvary Jail Ministries and Moravian Church spent their Sunday afternoon behind the walls of the jail, leading worship for people who don't often get visitors. No cameras, no applause. Just showing up, week after week, for people the world tends to look past. That kind of quiet faithfulness deserves recognition. Thank you.

Thanks to this community, we're so close. 🙌

The Empowering Reentry campaign has raised $1,055,000 of our $1.1M goal — that means we're just $45,000 away from fully funding programs that help people rebuilding their lives after incarceration get job training, housing support, and a real second chance.

$45,000 stands between where we are and where we need to be. Every gift, big or small, gets us closer.

🌟 A huge thank you to Temp Elliott for joining us at 7 Habits recently! Temp shared powerful stories from his life and career, weaving them beautifully into Habit 4: Think Win-Win. His insights on finding mutual benefit in business, relationships, and everyday decisions which left our group with a lot to reflect on. Thank you, Temp, for your time, your honesty, and your wisdom! 🙏

Today's of encouragement:

Your outreach to the incarcerated and their families is a reflection of Christ's heart. You are His hands. You are His voice. He will reward your faithfulness. "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these...you did for me." Matthew 25:40
