While most of us are not actively involved in prison ministry, we can all minister to the residents of Purdy Correction Center for Women in a special way.Bake
Cookies for Kairos!

What is Kairos?
Kairos Ministries is a Christian organization that shares the gospel of Jesus Christ with those in prison.

Why do they need cookies?
March 16-19, Kairos is sponsoring a Christian retreat weekend at Purdys Correction Center for Women in Gig Harbor WA. . The cookies are used as refreshments during the weekend program. In addition, a bag of cookies is given to every person at the prison, including the guards and the warden.

Why should our AHG troop and GURC participate?
AHG (nationally ) has been participating in the “Cookies for Kairos” service project for nine of its ten and a half years of existence; last year our girls provided over 700 dozen cookies to this ministry. This is an opportunity to share God’s love with people who really need to hear about the unconditional love and forgiveness of Jesus. The fact that people care enough to bake these cookies is a powerful message for the participants.
Because the cookies represent God’s love, we ask that burned or broken cookies not be sent in.

How can our AHG troop/GURC help?
We ask each girl in participating troops make 2 dozen cookies according to the following guidelines:
- Cookies can be chocolate chip, peanut butter, oatmeal (no raisins!!), sugar, M&M, Rice Krispie treats, or snicker doodles. Brownies can be sent in also. Slice and bake or mixes are okay. Store-bought are not!
- Each cookie should be approximately 2 inches in diameter
- ABSOLUTELY no raisins, icing or powdered sugar (prison’s restrictions!)
- Cookies should be placed in clear gallon-sized Ziploc bags of 2 dozen per bag. Mark the bag “2 doz.” for ease of counting. Please do not put cookies on paper plates. Do not decorate the bags.

Where and when do we bring the Cookie?
Please bring the cookies to the Grace Church kitchen between March 1st and 9th. Someone will be driving these cookies to Gig Harbor before March 16th. Unfortunately, we cannot accept any late cookies.

Please record the time your daughter bakes on the service hour record sheet when you turn in the cookies.

If you have questions please call Tonya Davis at 734-9392
