Corrections Officer Appreciation
Final Details
Hey guys,
I have spoken with Jim Young with Texas Baptist Men and all is set for the upcoming Corrections / Law Enforcement officer appreciation meals, to be provided just outside the main gate of the Barry Telford Unit of the Texas Dept of Criminal Justice, Hwy 98, New Boston, Texas. This is a partnership of TBM, Bowie Bapt Association, Telford Prison Ministries Inc, and the local Christian community.
Texas Baptist Men will arrive with their feeding unit Tuesday afternoon and set up two tents. We have tables and chairs ordered to set up for 125. The meal schedule is as follows:
Wed Lunch, 10:30 AM - 2:30 PM (FBC Redwater)
Wed Dinner, 4:30 PM - 7:00 PM (FBC Wake Village)
Thurs Lunch, 10:30 AM - 2:30 PM (FBC DeKalb)
Thurs Dinner, 4:30 PM - 7:00 PM (Cross Pointe)
If your church is listed beside the meal, you have committed to bring volunteers to help serve. We need about 12 volunteers to assist serving and to operate the jump house (for the CO's kids when their family joins them). If your church is not listed but you would like to join us, please do so. Pastors and staff are encouraged to join us and visit the officers through the afternoon.
If the children or others in your church have written appreciation letters or cards for the officers, you can bring them at one of the mealtimes, drop them by the office at FBC Nash, or contact me and I will pick them up. Our goal is 800 cards, letters or pictures from the kids expressing love, care, appreciation and prayers for local Correctional and Law Enforcement personnel.
Please help us spread the word to area law enforcement officers that they too are invited.
There will be a memorial service for fallen Correctional Officers outside the main gate at Telford on Thursday morning at 10 AM. Your attendance would bless the officers.
On a related note, on Wednesday, May 16th, there is a service for Police Memorial Day in Texarkana at the Sullivan Performing Arts Center, 4000 Summerhill Rd at 10:00 AM. Your presence here would bless many, I'm sure.
Thank you for your partnership in ministry.
