PRISON MINISTRY: Worship and Bible Study is held at the Keogh-Dwyer Correctional Facility every Sunday evening at 7:00 pm.  One or two women visit, and there are usually 3 to 12 women who come to worship and learn.  Assistance is needed in lending the Bible Study and Worship time.  (Training Provided)
