Support for Kairos Prison Ministry: Holy Family members Andy and Scott Wilson will be spending time with inmates at the Pendleton Correctional Industrial Facility (medium security) for the 31st Kairos at this facility program on April 24-27, 2025. This program focuses on sharing God’s love, listening to the inmates, building up their spirits with love, helping them build and maintain a Christian community inside the walls, then successfully reenter the “outside world” after serving their sentences. Here are some ways that you can support this ministry:
- Sign up to pray for Kairos participants. 144 thirty-minute prayer slots will be filled so the entire weekend is bathed in prayer. Be sure to update your time zone before choosing a time to pray.
- Decorate a placemat or poster at church with messages of love and support. Supplies are available during hospitality time.
- Purchase cookies for the event. The team is again using Famous Amos 42 pack cases (available at Sam’s Club, Costco, or BJs) which are approximately $20 a case. At least 90 cases of cookies are needed for the weekend.
- Purchase snacks for the event. Please use the link to be provided or bring approved snacks to church by April 20th.
- Make a financial donation. Each weekend costs about $3,500 to host, and each team member is asked to contribute at least $250. You can write a check to Kairos of Indiana (and hand it to Scott or Andy Wilson). Kairos is a 501(c)(3) organization, so all donations are tax deductible. Please email the church office for Andy and Scott Wilson’s electronic donation information. admin@hfec.org
- Attend the closing ceremony from 12-3 PM on Sunday, April 27th at the Correctional Industrial Facility in Pendleton. Stephen Canter plans to attend and is happy to carpool. You must be preregistered to attend, so please notify the church office by April 13th. Once the guest list is full no more will be added.
