Spiritual guidance
Craft Group: Each week a group of women gather to do craft projects and learn about Jesus. Some of these women have overcome great emotional hurdles, some continue that process. Together they support and pray for each other.
Temporary Housing: Faith House is a temporary family shelter owned by Lebanon Church of the Brethren and operated by Jubilee. Displaced families may stay there 3-6 months; while there they participate in budget, individual, and sometimes, marriage counseling.
Summer Camp: Each year children who have a parent in prison or on parole are invited to attend a week of summer camp. Individuals and church groups cover the expenses allowing these dear children to experience camping, go swimming, share in camp fires, learn songs, appreciate nature, learn of Jesus.
