Trinity's Prison Ministry involves a group that  reaches out to those who are incarcerated in the  the Dauphin County Prison by leading worship services six times a year on Sunday afternoon or evening every other month.  Participants are required to fill out a simple identifying form which will give us permission to visit the Prison.  We sing, pray, read scripture, listen to a sermon, and have communion together.  We sit among the worshipers so as to chat a little if it seems appropriate.  Right now we have about 15 members who are certified to attend.  We usually have a group of 5 to 8 who attend at any time.

Our reasons for being involved in prison ministry are perhaps best illustrated through two sermons, one from October 14, 2001 and one from November 20, 2005, preached by Pastor Nancy Easton.  Links to MP3 audio versions of both sermons and to a print version of the November 20, 2005 sermon are below.
