Thank You from Kairos Team
Dear River Community Church Family,
Thank you all so much for your support of our recent Kairos LCIW #33 retreat. We are so grateful for all that you did to support the team and the weekend activities.
Thank you so much to everyone who baked cookies. The cookies are a tangible example of God's love to all of the participants as well as all of the residents on the compound. In knowing that you took your time and resources to bake cookies for someone that you do not even know in prison they are given a beautiful (and delicious) picture of God's love.
