Christmas at the Jail VIII

Bering Memorial United Methodist Church 1440 Harold St., Houston, TX, United States

Just because COVID has eliminated visits to inmates at the jail this year, we want to remember that children are still missing their incarcerated loved ones. Michael would expect us to continue his tradition. Therefore, the program has adjusted to make sure some kids get a gift from Santa, and if possible the family gets a gift certificate for Christmas dinner.
