The most recent changes will be at the top of this page to allow you to quickly determine if there is something you need to go check out, 1/17/2012 Updated the site with Kairos 49 information.

The team invitation letter and meeting schedule is on the meeting schedule page. 12/5/2010 Added a general "schedule" page. We will post the upcoming weekend dates here. Since many people do not know the general plan for Kairos, this will give them a broader picture of the schedule throughout the year. Removed the old "Upcoming Events" page which was redundant with the schedule page. Removed the reference to the old web site from the welcome page. The old site is still there, but the reference to it is probably useless. Otherwise refreshed the welcome page to reflect these changes. 11/1/2010 Updated the Welcome for the Kairos #47 beginning April 14, 2011. Updated the Meeting Schedule page. Updated the Download page to include more information about volunteer training and RE-training (TDCJ). 9/7/2010 Updated the Welcome for the Kairos #46 beginning October 28. Corrected a typo on the Welcome page. Planning to update the Closing Application for #46 on Sept. 8. When you download the form, be sure to check the Kairos number so it says 46. 7/18/2010 Updated Coming Events for the Kairos #46 beginning October 28. Updated team schedule. 6/7/2010 Updated Coming Events to include the July 2-day retreat information and give a hint about #46 in October. 6/2/2010 Corrected the link to the TDCJ volunteer application form.

These forms can be printed, then filled out; or they can be filled out (must use Adobe Reader 7 or later), saved to disk, and printed out. Also, the data can be submitted via email. As before, you still have to print the form and put your actual signature on the line. 11/20/09 Posted on the "Events" page the fact that there will be a 2-day retreat at Darrington January 16-17, 2010. An organizational meeting will be announced in early December. If you can participate in any way, please contact Hank Jamieson by email.

Updated Coming Events page. 10/28/09 Started a LINKS page. The first link posted will take you to the video of Paul Gray's Kairos testimony. It is powerful.

Reorganized the navigation tabs a bit. 10/14/09 The weekend dates for Kairos #45 were posted on the home page (April 15-18, 2010). 8/24/09 The Closing Application for Kairos 44 is now up.

This form allows the user to save to disk and also to submit the form data electronically. With a simple click, the form data can be emailed to the webmaster for inclusion in a spreadsheet for records management, etc. The form must also be printed, signed and mailed, but the accuracy of data capture is limited only by the accuracy of the information typed onto the form by the applicant. 6/4/08 Updates to revise for new weekend (#42) including a PDF-fillable form for team application. This info is not quite up-to-date, but will be finalized when I get the name of the observing lay leader. I am also awaiting an up-to-date closing application. Revised the prayer and share schedule. 4/1/08 Added the gate and program times to the Prayer and Share schedule page. 2/29/08 Improved the "Contact Us" page.

Edited the "Meeting Schedule" page and Welcome page to reflect the update in schedule location. 2/24/08 Over the last month or so, the emphasis has been on keeping the prayer and share listing up to date.
