Hanover Juvenile Correction Center

     After 30-40 years of Ministry at Barrett Learning Center (closed in March of 2005), a new Ministry has being developed at Hanover Juvenile Correction Center. Members from Cool Spring regularly ministered to juveniles at Barrett Learning Center, through weekly Bible Study. A similar weekly Bible Study is now being offered HJCC. These boys will be between the ages of 12 and 20 1/2.

     As the Bible studies are developed for the young men at HJCC, volunteers are needed. This includes pairs of people (one man, and one woman) who would consistently be able to serve once a month (knowing that occasionally substitutes would need to be made for travel, sickness, etc...,) Substitutes and people willing to serve every two months or once a quarter are also needed.

     Those of us who have served on a once a month basis have seen what the consistency means to the boys, but they also enjoy and welcome new faces. The curriculum we will choose will be easy for volunteers to share, and will not require much if any preparation. We are actively seeking a video supplement to whatever is chosen.

     Contact Wayne Smith for more information this ministry and how to get involved.
