The hymnals in the chapel at the prison are over 35 years old, tattered, and need to be replaced. Our team is asking you if you would like to help replace these hymnals, to mark your gift “Prison Ministry.” Approximately 50 hymnals are needed at a cost of $10.00 each. Thanks for your concern for this ministry.
