Pam Lambeth and a group from Hopewell Moravian Church recently assisted with a worship service at the prison. Following is her account of the experience.
"NO PICTURES ALLOWED; but, tonight a group from our church worshipped with men at the Cherry Street Prison. It is a shared service. The men sang, and our group shared two life stories (testimonies). One member of our group told the men about the power of prayer and brought it home using her own experience when God answered many prayers for her and our family. Another member gave the men great hope and some really good advice. Several men made their way to him after the service to thank him. We also shared Communion with these men. It truly touched your heart. During Prayer and Praise time, one of the inmates stood and said that he had been to our church and that we had a heart to love and support the men at Cherry Street. I was caught off guard, but it really meant a lot to hear him speak of our church in that way. God works in ways we may not expect!!!! I am most grateful to each person who went with us to Cherry Street!!!!! ❤ "
