Feel free to share your commitments and struggles here or on our facebook/twitter pages to build a community of trust, accountability and encouragement!

Hey Everyone,
Dianne Anderson is looking for more volunteers to do prison ministry at Urban Camp. She's currently doing visits for our church on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month.
We would need to give her full name and birth dates to get clearance, and it would be in teams of minimum 2 with Dianne until we felt comfortable to do it ourselves for an hour or 2.
If we can get a handful more young adults we would be every couple months or so to go, and its not you alone in a cell, but praying as a group the rosary, reading scripture, leading alpha or a faith study - basically whatever you feel comfortable doing. Men and women welcome to help!
Urban Camp is men almost ready to re-enter community, some are even already working. They are good men who made mistakes, and are eager to grow in their faith. Our Lord asked us to visit the emprisoned, please consider helping out in this powerful ministry. Dianne and those involved in Restorative Justice are witnessing Christ in amazing ways, but Christ asked us all to show mercy and compassion to all.
Contact Dianne Anderson below if you're interested!
