Prison Ministry Opportunity

September 18, 7 pm to 9 pm OR September 20, 9:30 am to 11:30 am

Long Creek Youth Development Center
675 Westbrook Street, South Portland

Matthew 25: 36: “… I was in prison and you came to visit me."

Learn how you can become part of an ecumenical team of men and women of all ages (clergy
and laity) who become mentors to the youth in the facility. Torch is a structured program with an excellent mentoring program and mentor guide.

Training will prepare volunteers to be mentors in the Youth Center environment and within its rules. In addition, you will get to know and share the support of a terrific team of committed Christians, many of whom have long experience in prison ministry. If you have ever wanted to put Jesus' words about visiting prisoners into action, but were hesitant to work in the prison setting or concerned about doing it alone, this is your chance!

The need is great; the kids are receptive; and you could change a life. Why not find out more? There is no subsequent obligation! If you're interested, please contact Pastor Jamie at 799-6814.
