The
November 14-18 Kairos weekend is coming up at Nottoway Correctional Center in
Burkeville. The team orchestrating the
weekend for about 34 inmates includes Matt Deller, Joe DuRant, and Brad Norris
from St. Andrew’s. This is a very
involved undertaking: four all-day Saturday organizing and training sessions
plus the Kairos weekend.
My
preconceived ideas about prison ministry melted away pretty quickly. You get a taste and maybe a heaping helping
of what servant ministry is like. Lots and
lots of guidelines and rules, all of which must be followed to have a
successful weekend.
The
end result is most appreciative people and changed lives. This is the Church spreading the Gospel of
Christ in a place that is starving for the Gospel of Christ.
Home
baked cookies are a manifestation of the love of the Christian community. Will you help out? Please make cookies without sprinkles, nuts
or raisins, bag them (one dozen per bag) in clear plastic and bring to the big
freezer in the church kitchen. Thank
you!

Minister of Music
