Prison Chaplain

                                                                    

 
On Monday 16th April, our parish evangelist Robert Heaton spoke to us about his work as a Prison Chaplain. Having worked in engineering for 30 years he was asked if he would be interested in training as a lay reader. His course was held at Doncaster Prison followed by an Alpha course, both held in the prison chapel. Eventually he was offered a part time job as prison chaplain. He spoke about his pastoral care of the prisoners and how some of them were truly sorry for their wrongdoing and had turned to Christ. His work is so worthwhile, but owing to the present economic climate his future is uncertain. Please remember Robert in your prayers and for his ministry at Doncaster Prison.
