Prison Outreach

Coordinators: Roberta Smith (761-0519) - prison services,
Robin Fero (691-6891) – work release services &
Kristen Campbell (932-1603) - Community Connections breakfast

For many years Trinity members and a pastor have visited the Dauphin County Prison every other month to lead a service of Word and Sacrament. All participants are required to obtain a security clearance allowing admittance to the prison.  Trinity occasionally leads a Sunday afternoon service at CCU headquarters for formerly incarcerated persons in work release programs and their families.  An annual Community Connections Breakfast is sponsored by Trinity to provide yet another opportunity for those in work release to re-connect with society.

Our reasons for being involved in prison outreach 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.
