Thank You for Your Generosity
Isaiah 44:22 “I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to me, for I have redeemed you…” is a constant reminder that God provides second chances. Thank you for your gift that provides opportunities to a mother, daughter, father or son who is returning home from incarceration and needs a second chance.
