Greetings,
On the positive, a temporary chaplain will start on November 18th at Dixon. The guys know him and say he's a good one. He's a drummer in a Christian band, sounds hopeful.
On the not so positive side, no chaplain on the horizon at Sheridan and pass issues are aplenty.
With a lot of men paroling at Sheridan, there are seats to filled by men on a waiting list. Please pray for a chaplain with sound doctrine and theology to appear on the horizon at Sheridan.
To Him be the glory!
