Community Reentry Fellowship

Reentry networking Lunches

WEATHER POLICY:  IF GRAND RAPIDS PUBLIC SCHOOLS (GRPS) ARE CANCELLED, THIS EVENT WILL ALSO BE CANCELLED

In the fall of 2011, CJC in partnership with Oakdale Park Christian Reformed Church launched a new ministry, Community Reentry Fellowship, and is hosting Reentry Networking Lunches.  These lunches are continuing under 70x7 Life Recovery.  The primary goals of this ministry are:

  • To create a place of fellowship for returning citizens and their families during a lunch gathering.

  • Develop a connecting point for church folks to know Returning citizens and their struggles.

  • Invite social service agency representatives to meet and offer information and resources.

  • Offer the opportunity for Mentors to engage with Mentees.

All are welcome to attend!
