News Bulletin October 2009
Mission: Seeds of Hope reflects God's love by helping inmates and ex-inmates grow in character, intellectually, and spiritually so that they can successfully transition out of the corrections system and become valuable, productive members of their communities.
Upcoming Events:
We enjoy weekly fellowship at 5:30 followed by our formal meeting from 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. During the meetings, volunteers and ex-inmates share information about our work, our needs, and future plans. We also discuss inspirational materials and new ideas for the ministry. Although our roots are Christian, this is a non-denominational organization. We hope for and welcome participation from all faiths. To view a brochure about Seeds of Hope, click here for English or here for Spanish. For more information, contact Becky Upshaw at (620) 276-9649 weekdays or (620) 272-5089 evenings and weekends.
