Question 3

Participate by Giving

The total costs of an Inside Weekend can be substantial. We are thankful that Redland includes some money in its budget for Kairos! If you would like to donate above and beyond your regular tithes and offerings, please do. Sponsor a Bible for $25 or a cross for $6. Any amount will help.

Question 4

Participate by Creating Agape

Answer

Visible Agape is artwork which is posted on the walls of the community room for the participants to read throughout the Weekend. Signed placemats and posters made by children (first name only and age) are especially treasured by prisoners. These handmade pieces of art are powerful tools of the Holy Spirit that can break open a lifetime of sorrow and let the love of Christ in.

Guidelines for Placemats and Posters:

Placemats decorated by children/youth
Include child’s first name only and age
Posters made by anyone
Include the name of the group and the group’s signatures (if kids, first name only and age)
Simple message of God’s love
Preferred size is 11 x 17
No stickers, glue, sparkles, etc.

Another form of Agape is to write letters from God’s family to the inmate expressing God’s love.

Guidelines for Letters:

Address to “Dear Brother in Christ”
No last names
Don’t seal the envelope
Short note from children has an incredible impact for Christ!
Children sign first name only and age
No stickers, glue, sparkles, etc.
