Volunteers Needed for Prison Ministry
For decades Mt. Pisgah has sent mission teams to the Beaumont Juvenile Corrections Center in Goochland for worship services and Bible studies. In order to continue this ministry, at least one more regular volunteer is needed. Perhaps you have made a New Year's resolution to become more involved in Evangelism or you wish to move outside of your normal comfort zone. "Prison" may sound frightening, but there are always two Beaumont security officers with our missions team. For more information please contact Stan Naimon at dwnaimon@juno.com or 804-464-2409.
