Russell St. Bernard (who’s now serving as a Youth Pastor in FL), we had a wonderful time taking the gospel of Jesus Christ behind the bars of juvenile lockup.  Since that time, I’ve been itchin’ to get back behind bars to reconnect with young men in that situation.  I knew that though a one time visit was nice, if we were going to make a major impact we needed to establish a program that included weekly visits.

Not only should clergy be going out to these places, but the entire 'body' should be going out to minister to these people. Maybe, if we lock the doors of the church we'll be forced to do more than just 'have church' or maybe we'll all go home... who knows? The “church” is too stuck within the four walls.

Why not go on a rotational basis? my question is why don’t more members of the clergy visit the places of confinement for youth and adults on a regular basis, not just to hold church, but to counsel the inmates and offer them guidance?

And if you can't do every Sunday, you should really consider going twice a month. I know that you're quite busy. But if you felt that much passion and fulfillment when you attended the service yesterday, perhaps that's for a reason. I'm going to be taking a break from blogging for a while. I'll see you in about a month. Oh yeah... My Easter was great. Typical church service... But it was good. Until we meet again, grow in the Lord. Brother Heber,

Oh yeah… My Easter was great. Typical church service… But it was good.

Until we meet again, grow in the Lord.
