Each month, from September to June, we select an organization or charity to highlight and to request donations. After the last Sunday of each month, the donations are combined into one check from First Parish and sent to the organization.

January Faith in Action Collection:
Jericho Circle Project

Our Faith in Action recipient for the month of January is the Jericho Circle Project. The Jericho Circle Project volunteers create and facilitate healing circles in men and women’s prisons to support personal change and the discovery of deeper truth. These circles help incarcerated individuals develop tools to come to terms with their inner struggles and bring down the walls that separate them from their loved ones, communities and themselves. In Jericho Circles people learn how to identify and express their feelings, communicate clearly, address conflicts in their lives, hold themselves accountable, identify new personal directions and, perhaps most importantly, find out “what makes them tick.”

FPUU Canton longtime member, Larry Cotton, has been a volunteer with the Jericho Circle Project for over 16 years. He is grateful for the chance to bring information about this important organization to FPUU through a worship service on January 12th and is very grateful for your financial support. For more information see jerichocircle.org.

Please make checks or PayPal contributions payable to FPUU Canton and tell us in the memo line or note that your contribution is for the Faith In Action (FIA). Please give as generously as you are able. Thank you!
