 Council:

I hope you’re all doing well and the enjoying the break from the heat given by the rain. 

Saturday, May 28th 6:00pm-8:30pm there will be a Kairos reception with Evelyn from KPMI at St. John United Methodist Church located at 9375 Highland Rd.

We will have Jambalaya, salad, dessert, drinks, and fellowship. Please let me know in the next week if you’ll be able to make it so I can provide Duane a headcount for planning.

Dear Kairos Family:

Great News: Angola is once again open for visitors and volunteers!

Monthly reunions are still on the first Saturday of each month and will resume April 2. Visits to Death Row for Prayer and Share each Monday will resume next week.

The prison currently requires volunteers to be vaccinated, boosted, and wear a mask. Like all Covid rules, we don't know how those may change over time.

We are also discussing dates for the next weekend retreat to be led by Dr Jeb Broyles as well as the next Death Row retreat. Please prayerfully consider joining those teams.

For those who have all their paperwork in order to enter the prison: Thank you and please prayerfully consider coming to an upcoming monthly reunion to help re-establish our presence.

If you don't know if your paperwork is all in order, please contact me or Mike Ryan and we will confirm the list

For those who haven't done DOC training in the last year, here are the steps to do it online:

1. Go to  https://doc.louisiana.gov/public-programs-resources/public-information/ and scroll down to the volunteer section.
2. Follow the website instructions, including: review the documents, watch the video, and fill out the Volunteer Orientation Training Request for Certificate Form.
3. Email the Request for Certificate form per website instructions. You should receive the certificate back in less than a week.
4. Print the following 4 forms and send them to Mike Ryan:

• Volunteer Services Training Certificate of Completion

• Volunteer Registration and Agreement Application

• Sexual Assault and Sexual Misconduct with Offenders Volunteer-Intern-Contractor Acknowledgement Form

• Rules and Guidelines for Volunteers or Guests Form

DOC Training

The next Department of Corrections safety training will be January 25 at 8:00AM at the Jimmy Swaggart Ministries campus 8919 World Ministry Avenue, Baton Rouge. You must have DOC training to be on a Kairos Prison Ministry team and every 12 months after if you plan to be on future teams.

There may be a Death Row this year as indicated in this message from AC Chair Bob:
"a Death Row retreat again and it is TENATIVELY scheduled for either February 6-9 or February 9-12 depending on whether it is a weekend retreat.  So, I am returning to our planned team from a year ago to check with each of you to encourage your continued commitment and verify that you will be able to join this team.  I know that our lives are in a constant process of change so, I understand if this timing finds some of you unable to participate.  We will be asking for permission to train at the training center in Camp F over the period of January 24th – 26th. "

Bob's later update includes a schedule of upcoming teams-- some of which still need confirmation from the prison:
1.  Kairos #68 - Death Row; either 2/6 - 2/9 or 2/9 - 2/12

  2.  One day retreat in preparation for Kairos #69 - March 14th

  3.  Kairos #69 - Main Prison, June 4 - 7

  4.  One day retreat in preparation for Kairos #70 - August 8th

  5.  Kairos #70 - Camp F ( A first!), November 12-15
