Kairos Outside is a special weekend retreat designed to support the female loved ones of men and women who are or have been incarcerated. Families of the imprisoned "do time" right along with their loved ones and are frequently shunned by society and  sometimes even their own families.


In a safe environment with loving people, women interact with other women who are in similar situations and learn how to form small groups to support and give them strength for the many challenges they face. 


For information about joining our KO team, contact Anne WaplesWeekend Leader for November 2024, or if you or someone you know is affected by incarceration and have an interest in attending a Kairos Outside Weekend, contact Lois Brooks.

This is such a rewarding ministry! From the tears, emotional testimonies and appreciation expressed by our Weekend graduates of all six of our Weekends to date, it is obvious that the guests benefited immensely. 


Donations from individuals, organizations and businesses are heartwarming and enable us to continue this rewarding ministry. Kairos Outside of Delmarva would like to thank all of our benefactors for their generosity in supporting our Weekends: 


Conley's United Methodist Church

Applebee's Restaurant, Lewes DE

Mr  P's Pizza, Lewes DE

Capriotti's Sandwich Shop, Lewes DE


Your generosity has made it possible for us to hold Kairos Outside Weekends !


Kairos Outside of Delmarva extends sincere thanks to everyone who prayed for our #6 Weekend, held in November 2023, and thank you in advance for your prayers for our upcoming Weekend, November 15-17, 2024.

It's a wonderful time to get together with new and old friends!

All former and current Kairos Outside participants and volunteers and their families are invited, as well as anyone interested in learning more about Kairos Outside ministry! (What better opportunity to learn first-hand from those who have served as a volunteer or been a guest on a Kairos Weekend? We welcome your questions.)


Hopefully, all participants are able to attend and keep in touch with friends they met on their Weekend, as well as meet new friends from earlier Weekends.

A special Thank You to our benefactors who have so generously supported our Weekends with meals: 


Applebee's of Lewes DE  

Mr P's Pizza, Lews DE

Capriotti's, both of Lewes DE


Bless you for your generosity and thank you so much!


OUR NEW CROSS!

We have been blessed! Karl Gude, our Kairos Inside volunteer built this beautifully crafted cross for Kairos Outside's chapel services on our Weekends. 

Karl even made it with cedar wood [as in the bible] and prayed while building it for us. We are so grateful.

Thank you so much Karl!
