This evening the team met at our host church, Concord United Methodist Church, which is located just beyond the border of Dinwiddie and into Sussex County and literally in the middle of nowhere. There is some titanium mining going on nearby but not much else. We counted, clipped the corners, and sorted nearly 2,000 dozen cookies to prepare them for transport into the prison tomorrow. That took up most of the evening, but we also had another team meeting and did a hand washing ceremony where members of the team washed each others hands in the same spirit that Jesus washed His disciples' feet. When we meet at the church tomorrow morning we will be loading all of our supplys in the rental truck and have them at the prison by 11:30. The prison is very picky about what goes in but the list has already been approved by the warden. We will meet the inmate servants about 1:00 and they will take over with the unloading of the supplies. Then it is a small time of fellowship until we are served lunch and get to partake of the fine cuisine that only Greensville Correctional Center can offer. This is a time where the team has done all the prep work and we are now eager for the weekend to begin.
As long as I am not too tired tomorrow evening, I will recap Thursday's events tomorrow night. Thursday night is the first night we meet the candidate inmates who will be going through the KAIROS weekend. It is primarily an introduction night but after those are done there are a few meditations read before we depart for the night. Cookie consumption does not start until Friday morning.
