In July of 2005, Oasis Chorale headed west to sing in the prisons of Colorado, working through New Horizons Ministries, a ministry that provides foster childcare for children of incarcerated mothers. The Chorale met in Kokomo, IN for 2 1/2 days of intense rehearsal before beginning the long bus ride to Colorado. A short stop in Leon, IA, for an evening program and overnight stay broke up our journey.
