Kairos 25 Prison Ministry
Kairos 25 will occur at North Carolina Central Correctional Institution for Women in Raleigh on October 12, 13, 14 and 15. Please pray for the team who will start their training on Saturday, July 29th and for those who will be participants from inside.
For Kairos 25, Reconciliation will have 4 members on team, Lisa Wells, Barbara Hale, Sara Webb Philips and Patti Owen. Kairos (Greek for the right or opportune moment) is an international prison ministry in which volunteers bring Christ's love and forgiveness to incarcerated individuals and their families, fulfilling the Christian call to care for those in prison.
Our team will need to bring 400 DOZEN cookies to the prison! What happens with the cookies? Good question. Each inmate and staff member receive a dozen homemade cookies during the weekend. It is sort of the trademark of Kairos and whenever there is a walk scheduled at the prison, the ladies know that the cookies are on the way. The cookies are a symbol of love, showing the prisoners that they have not been forgotten, that God still loves them, and that there are people who are praying for them and willing to reach out to them. Lisa Wells is looking for some folks who are interested in great fellowship and baking. As we mix and scoop and bake and cool and bag the cookies, there is ample time for prayer and fellowship (and just plain fun!)

I thought you might interested in blogging about one of the upcoming executions here in NC. On August 18, NC is set to execute Samuel Flippen. He grew up in a conservative Christian community and was very active in his Baptist Church throughout his life. If you are interested in blogging about it, his friends have created a website about him at savesammy.blogspot.com They are trying to spread the word about Sammy and get the governor to grant him clemency.
