Unfortunately, cancellations, delays, and disruptions are a reality in life and when serving in a prison ministry. In ministry, these are typically out of our control and can occur for a number of reasons. It could be anything from an administrative error to the weather to a prison lockdown due to disciplinary issues.
The weather finally cooperates! It was a near perfect day to play on the slab. It is great to be back at the Sayle Unit. This is one of the best-run units and volunteers are made to feel very welcome.
The Limestone County Unit houses a male population consisting of male offenders on the federal, state, and county level. This was our first time to visit this unit. Again the weather did not cooperate and we moved indoors to stay warm.
Because of bad weather, the event format moved from outside to inside at this unit. The rain had been falling for three days and the temperature around 40 degrees. We were very thankful for the comfort and warmth of the chapel.
We love the Johnston Unit! Always accommodating and helpful, both CO’s and inmates make us feel welcome at this unit. Doug and Greg from Legacy Church joined us on this journey. We would like to thank them for schlepping equipment and serving with us as part of the FTD family.
