Special Offering for July - UUPMI
During July our Special Offering will benefit the UU Prison Ministry of Illinois (UUPMI), nominated by Robert Skrocki. UUPMI fosters connections between UU congregations and those that are incarcerated in Illinois prisons. This group offers ministry inside prisons to those individuals who may find themselves in one of the hardest times of their lives. This ministry is carried out through in-prison worship services,covenant groups, pen pal groups and other programs. This work affirms the inherent worth and dignity of these individuals as well as fostering their own free and responsible search for truth and meaning. Additionally, UUPMI advocates for policy changes that seek to improve the quality of life for those incarcerated both during and after their time in prison.
