KAIROS Ministry |

Kairos is
a new ministry prayerfully launched in July 2007. Our group of
approximately 20-25 persons at present is open to all those who may
be gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered or questioning of sexual
identity, as well as family and friends of those persons who believe
in opening our doors of welcome to all persons who may feel excluded
in other churches. |

Kairos Group Wesley Room
Richard Whitaker
Dr. Mary Lou Taylor
3rd Sunday of the month 12 noon - 2:00 pm |
Kairos meets
monthly for a bring- your-own-bag lunch on third Sunday of the
month from noon to 2 pm in the Wesley room. Several Kairos
members walked this fall in the city-wide AIDS Walk at the
lakefront and will do so again in fall 2008. Currently we are
considering a mission statement to become a designated
"reconciling" small group within the United Methodist
Reconciling Ministries Network. Co-facilitators of Kairos are
Dr. Mary Lou Taylor and Richard Whitaker. When you see any one
of us wearing a rainbow sticker on our nametags, stop and talk
with us. We will answer questions and urge you to visit our
monthly gatherings.
We
welcome everyone into this fellowship!

A 8-week
ecumenical welcoming Bible Study on Homosexuality led by
Director of Christian Education, Richard Whitaker. The
study helps identify assumptions about Biblical authority and
interpretation, examines Biblical texts that portray gay and
lesbian persons negatively, and explores all from the framework
of God's liberating message of justice, love, freedom in
Christ. All senior high and adult members are invited to
join us for this study, and books can be purchased in the office
for $6.00
