    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.

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!
