The ISBC Cookie Ministry takes bags of cookies to prisoners at the Wagoner County Detention Center each month. This month, the prisoners will receive a little extra for Christmas.
The ladies made homemade cookies (oatmeal, lemon, and others) and included Christmas candy and candy canes all in decorative Christmas bags. Each bag was tied with a ribbon and included a Gospel tract.
We have been contacted by several prisoners, in the past, thanking the ladies for their gift of kindness to remember them in their imprisonment. We’ve also received several letters from the tract company notifying us of people who have been saved!
“…I was in prison, and you came to Me.” ~ Jesus

How long has it been since you’ve been to church? How many times have you told yourself that you need to be back in church? How many Sunday mornings come and go and you felt bad for not going to church?
Sunday, September 12, is National “Back to Church Sunday”. Think of it like the amnesty day at the library where you can return your overdue book without a penalty.
Except this is better.
Come back to church and re-discover God! You’ll be glad you did!

At our last business meeting, we voted to establish a “Cookie Ministry” to the prisoners at the Wagoner County Jail with Marty Berryhill being the ministry leader. She informed the church today that approval has been given by the jail for us to do this.
They have requested that 3 or 4 cookies be packaged together and we ARE able to include tracts, brochures, or other appropriate literature! We have arranged to bring the cookies on the last Friday afternoon of each month. The first time will be THIS Friday, April 30.
The jail administrator informed us that there are currently 94 prisoners, so if we put three cookies in each pack, that would be 282 cookies, or 23 ½ dozen. If we put 4 cookies in each pack, it would be 376 cookies or a little over 31 dozen.
Marty suggests that there be a “put together” on Friday morning at 9 am.
Please contact Marty if you are interested in participating in this ministry. Her email is: martyb@immanuelsouthern.com
