Greatfully, Dana Lynn Hiller For the Homecroft PTA Dear SUMC Friends, We want to thank you for you support of the Kairos Prison Ministries weekend at Indiana Women’s Prison Aug. 8-11. Twenty-four women from the prison participated in the weekend.   They learned that God loves them! What wonderful news! Thanks you for making cookies, praying, giving financial support and attending the closing ceremony. We look forward to the next Kairos weekend at Rockville the end of October.

Still looking for a few good men…

Kairos Prison Ministry offers men many opportunities to serve.   The facility closest to home is the Plainfield Correctional Facility. Kairos is going into that facility for a weekend in the fall. Other correctional facilities where men can serve include Pendleton, New Castle, Putnamville and Wabash Valley.   To see more information, go to kairosofindiana.org.   If any men in our congregation are interested in serving, contact the church office for more information. For those who might have reservations about serving inside a correctional facility, you might want to discuss prison ministry with any of the seven women from SUMC who have served during the last two years.    If you would ask any of those involved, you would find a positive response from each one about how meaningful this ministry has been to them.   They have served at both the Rockville Correctional Facility and Indiana Women’s Prison.

When we use these gifts our passion and joy for serving is greater and bears more fruit. Not every ministry is for us to take on as a church and we seek God’s will for how we serve and reach others in our community to share His love....
