Volunteers from four Hope Mennonite Fellowship churches are involved with staffing Bible Studies at Lehigh County Jail each month. On the second, third, and fourth Friday evening of each month between 8:30 and 10:00, A Bible Study is held by volunteers of Hope Mennonite Fellowship with inmates from two different housing units in the men’s prison. Attendance varies from 1 to 15 participants.
Each Saturday evening between 7:00 and 9:00, A Bible Study is held by volunteers of Hope Mennonite Fellowship with inmates from two housing units in the women’s prison. Usually, twenty inmates attend. Bible Studies are also held on the 5th Saturdays and Sundays when they occur.
A typical Bible Study includes a time of prayer with the in mates, two Bible study periods planned and led by the volunteers, and a lot of discussion on issues and questions brought up by the inmates who attend. Lamp and Light correspondence courses are offered as well. May these Bible Studies be an encouragement to many to seek the Lord and to do what it takes to continue in His ways when they are released!
