KAIROS PRISON MINISTRY



On January 5 and 8 members of our Prison Ministry Teams will be at a Next Steps table to share how you can be part of Kairos Prison Ministry. As well as choosing to serve inside the prison walls, there are many additional ways to make this spiritual retreat a success.  

The first is prayer.  It is an extremely emotional moment when the participants see a long    prayer chain with thousands of names of people who are praying for them.  You can sign up for a time to pray.

Another way to help is to bake cookies.  If this is your talent, be sure to pick up the specific chocolate chip cookie recipe at the table.  The cookies make a statement in ways hard to imagine.  They show love from those who bake them, and they are a powerful instrument for forgiveness within the walls of the correctional facility.
A third way is to give financially.  A single gift of $10 for a meal ticket can provide two  separate meals during the weekend and is a charitable contribution for your income taxes.  

You may choose to attend a closing at the prison facility on the last date of the retreat weekend.  This is an overwhelming experience for the men or women who see that others care enough to attend the closing session.  It also is a remarkable experience for those from outside the prison walls to hear the testimonies of the inmates.  Attending a closing is another way to discover whether you might be interested in working a weekend retreat in the future. 

Information on all of the above opportunities will be at the Next Steps table January 5 and 8.
