Support Prison Ministries

Several members of our congregation are part of ministry teams that go into Texas prisons, offering Christ's love and redemption. Purchase a $5 meal ticket at the Connection Center, a tangible reminder to an inmate that they still have value and are not forgotten. Also, add your name to the prayer chain at the Connection Center and make a commitment to pray for all those involved in the weekends. An Epiphany weekend is coming up over Labor Day, for incarcerated teenage girls, as well as a Kairos weekend in October, ministering to imprisoned men. For more info, contact
