Ministry of Presence
Probably the most important aspect of the chaplains' time with the children is what we call “the ministry of presence”. Our chaplains walk the halls; visit the units; play cards, board games, or video games; or watch TV with the youth. The non-anxious presence of our chaplains reassures the teens that their spiritual well-being is being looked after.
With the help of volunteers from our supporting congregations, ECM Chaplains continue to bring the kids in detention some happiness and hope with reminders that they are not forgotten and that someone cares. Little things often mean a lot to these kids, who are touched by such simple acts of kindness. Special thanks to Tina Warhover and volunteers at St. Timothy's and Rudy Walz and volunteers from Holy Communion for these treat-bags and activity books!
Volunteers from St. Mark's, St. Timothy's and Faith Christian Church of India have continued bringing hope and healing to the kids in St. Louis City's and County's Juvenile Detention Centers through their birthday party ministry. You guys are awesome - thank you! If you'd like to participate, please contact us at ecitymission.org
