This past Sunday was Prison Ministry Awareness Sunday (PMAS), a day where parishes and parishioners highlighted the powerful work of prison ministries. Many churches passed an additional tray on that Sunday and sent the donations to OCPM so we can continue in our mission of servicing the incarcerated and their families as well as providing resources, training, and support to our ministry partners.
We wanted to highlight the special commitment towards advancing prison ministry made by Saint Christopher Hellenic Orthodox Church in Peachtree City, GA. This Church, led by Fr. George Tsahakis, chose to help OCPM with generous donations for ALL Sundays in June!
This aid is provided by the Hands of Love Ministry, which is the outreach arm of their church that assists ministries that work with the poor, needy, and rejected people of our world.
We wanted to thank St. Christopher’s Church for this more than generous commitment. We look forward to how many more people will have orthodoxy and Christ made available to them because of this level of support.
Though PMAS has passed, it’s never too late to give or spread awareness. Below you can find links of materials used on that day:
