St. John’s Jail Ministry
This year the Jail Christmas celebration will be on Wednesday, December 19th at 6 pm. We will need volunteers for that evening as well as volunteers to help put the goodie bags together. These volunteers will meet at the Jail on Tuesday, December 18 between 9 am and noon. The goodie bags will be given out before the Holiday celebration. Instead of home baked goodies, I have been asked to ask the members of St. John’s to bring tiny packets of cheese and crackers, or peanut butter and crackers, or Oreo cookies(or some other type of individually wrapped cookies)–the individual packets that you might give your child for his/her snack at school. I will pick up these snacks on December 17th at the church, so I would appreciate if people dropped off their goodies by December 16th.
I still need more travel size toiletries like the ones you get at a hotel-(shampoo, condition, lotion, soap, and body wash). I have about 250 travel size toiletries so far, but there will be about 400-450 inmates in December. There is a box in Fellowship Hall for all the Jail donations.
If you have any questions, please give me a call–742-5407. I appreciate all the support you have given the inmates over the years. This year marks my 25th year at the Jail, which means St. John’s has supported this cause for at least 25 years. Thank you.
