Prison Ministry

In the Lord’s Army
At our church, Emmanuel Lutheran in Hermitage, it’s not uncommon to see some unusual items up near the altar when we arrive for worship. We know they are probably props for Pastor Enko’s Children’s Message. However, on a recent Sunday the spread was more lavish than usual. There was a six foot table covered with all […]
