What is a Kairos Weekend?

                             

 

The Kairos "Weekend" actually requires four days.     

Up to 42 carefully selected men (called Candidates) are chosen by the Warden and the Chaplain to attend the weekend, which begins Thursday afternoon and lasts until Sunday afternoon..  Kairos asks that the Candidates be "Prison Leaders." 

The men are assigned to a table family where they will stay for the entire weekend.  Each table consists of three team members (two laymen and a clergy) and six Candidates.  Each Candidate is seated next to a team member.

Each day consists of a series of talks and meditations given by both clergy and laymen.  Each talk is preceded by singing and followed by discussion of the talk and a table project that illustrates the points made in the Talk.  

The "inside team" provides meals cooked by the "outside team."  These are the finest food and meals we can prepare.  They include such favorites as lasagna, barbeque, tamales, hamburgers, "free world" pizza, salads, ice cream, cake, and all the fresh fruit and cookies the Candidates can eat.

The Weekend also contains other specially timed events designed to encourage the Candidate to move into a relationship with Christ.
