The Kairos Prison Ministry has asked to hold a 4-day weekend at Leath Correctional for Women April 27 - 30, 2023. We are stepping out in faith to train our volunteers praying that we get confirmation to go inside for the 4 days.
We are inviting anyone who is interested to be a part of our team (either to go inside or be support outside). To serve inside the prison, there is a 34 hour training required. The meetings scheduled for this are Feb. 11 & 25, Mar. 11 & 25 and Apr. 1. All of these meetings will be held in Greenwood, SC from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm.
If women in our parish are interested in joining our team, contact Linda Bargeron at lhbargeron@gmail.com.

The Reconciliation of a Penitent
| |
Father Glenn is offering "The Reconciliation of a Penitent" / i.e. individual confession. Jesus entrusted his ministry of healing and reconciliation to his original followers and to those who follow him today. Reconciliation/Confession is an opportunity, a chance to name before God and someone else the things which we are sorry for and which burden our soul and conscience. "All Can, Some Should, None Must".
Father Glenn is a clinically trained pastoral counselor. Reconciliation is free. The confidentiality of the Confessional is morally and completely absolute.
If you are interested in Reconciliation/Confession contact Father Glenn at 803-319-5296 or email him at rector@holycomforterchurch.org.

Our Bishop, The Rt. Rev. Frank Logue, will be with us March 19, 2023. If you wish to be baptized, confirmed, or received, contact the church office at 706-210-1133 or speak with Father Glenn. |
