Second Chance Sunday

The North Carolina Conference Restorative Justice and Mercy Ministry Team has identified the month of April as “Second Chance Month.” Reflecting the Easter message of redemption that is available to all through the death and resurrection of Jesus, we hope to remind church members that people who are coming out of incarceration have served their time and deserve a second chance.
