“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”
Join us on Thursday, November 21, at 6:00 pm (Pacific) for our monthly Embraced:Fully Angel Team Workshop Zoom meeting. Guests are always welcome!
In this monthly meeting we explore how we can support returning citizens as they return home from incarceration. We’ll cover questions like: What is an Angel Team? Who can be part of one? How do we start them up, and what role can our churches play in this meaningful work?
We’ll also take some time to share gratitude for our returning community members, volunteers, churches and supporters of this work!
Embraced:Fully Angel Teams help qualified students of Christian Science coming out of prison find housing, transportation, employment, and most importantly a welcoming church community.
Agenda for the call:
- Introductions & Announcements – Introduce yourself, are you currently working with any returning community members (or planning to)?
- Regional Angel Team Updates & Returning Community Member check-ins – sharing progress, challenges, and accomplishments.
- Visiting and Corresponding Volunteer Chaplain check-ins – updates from the field.
- Topic for Discussion: Sharing gratitude, and navigating expectations when starting an Angel Team
- Confirm next meeting dates, wrap up meeting.
This is a monthly working meeting for Embraced:Fully Angel Teams across the nation, and also people interested in volunteering to either start or join one, or participate remotely. Angel Teams help returning community members succeed in not going back to prison or jail.
