Parkview Church is doing more to help those who find themselves in unfortunate circumstances.
They have teamed up with the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office to help incarcerated fathers through a national program called “InsideOut Dad." This program has helped reduce recidivism by “connecting fathers to their families, providing them with a greater incentive to stay out of prison."
Parkview Church has recently helped 10 incarcerated dads graduate from this program through their ministry.
"We are deeply honored to partner in kingdom work with the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office and the InsideOut Dad program," the church stated on its Facebook page. "Through this ministry, our trained men at Parkview have stepped up to lead, facilitate, and pour their hearts into the lives of these men."
On Tuesday, October 14, a local author released her new book “Surprised by Him: 60 Gifts of Truth from God."
Cynthia Mendenhall lives in Ormond Beach and is an author, a speaker and a life coach. She has shared her “messages of hope and freedom” for over 12 years. She has contributed to Chicken Soup for the Soul and Guidepost while writing her SPUNKIFY book series.
This newest book “draws readers closer to the heart of God through connecting stories with scripture and gentle encouragement.” Mendenhall said that “Each selection is a gift — a moment to pause, reflect, and rediscover how God meets us in the ordinary moments of life."
On Saturday, Oct. 25, Shepherd of the Coast Lutheran Church will hold a fall craft fair.
