On YouTube 3-4x/week ~ @RevKRB2. Typical service lasts usually 2+ hours. I follow the Book of Common Prayer's Daily Morning Office 2007 (Mission of St. Claire Lectionary ~ Franciscan.) I also include a book that I select to study that takes several weeks, broken up into short, contemplative segments.

Our Mission
God forgives EVERYONE who comes to Him.
I focus on helping people post-prison, as i did 16+ years with the Maine Department of Corrections. I also serve our families, friends and colleagues in trying to understand the whole milieu associated with Incarceration, as they also "do time" with us.

About Church of the Holy Spirit ~ Lewiston
I am a former Inmate with the Maine Department of Corrections. I preach to the former inmates of the world trying to assimilate into a Society that had seemingly left them behind. I preach to our families, friends, former colleagues in trying to understand the profound changes that a person experiences behind bars. I have a Re-Entry Ministry: "Cell-to-Street" that helps releasees reintegrate into a Society that has changed in fundamental (and profound ways) since we were incarcerated. I am also a certified Mental Health Professional and former K-12 Multi-Disability Special Ed Teacher.
