     Community Spiritual Director:

     Community Lay Director:  We are so excited to have completed
     the Spring walks.  Thank you so much to our lay directors 
     Randy Hite and T.R. Barnes for their willingness to serve. 
     We are asking you all to pray for the upcoming fall walks. 
     Ron and Tracie Neagle are the lay directors.  This power couple
     HAS excepted the challenge to serve our Lord and Savior and
     our community! 
     As you all know the cost of everything is going up! 
     We hope to start a summer campaign.  We are going to ask
     individuals that can help be a partial sponsor for pilgrims to
     keep the cost down but make up for rising cost of Food and
     supplies.   Please prayerfully consider sponsoring or
     partially sponsoring a pilgrim in the fall.  We do not want
     money to discourage someone from being able to attend a
     walk!

     Team selection:   As a part of the Team Selection Committee,
     I am happy to report that the Fall Lay Directors, Ron and Tracie
    Naegle (thanks for stepping up) have submitted their lists and
    have been approved by the committee.
    In the future, a spreadsheet will be presented to the LD’s to
    assist in preparing their lists for each position, both inside
    conference room and outside team members. The spreadsheet
    will also include space for alternate choices, and the number
    of teams in which each prospective member has participated in
    the past. This is imperative in keeping with the one-third rule.
    For our newer members this rule is one-third seasoned (served
    on more than 2 teams) mODERATE (served on 1-2 teams), and
    one-third new (never served on a team and it has been one year
    since the prospective member attended their walk).
    Thanks to each of you for all you have done, and will do, for
    our United Emmaus Community! Looking forward to our fall
    walks …
    In Christian love, Teresa Sims

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

                    
                     A Journey with Christ

While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and walked with them. - Luke 24:15

The walk to Emmaus is an experience of Christian spiritual renewal and formation that begins with a three-day short course in Christianity. It is an opportunity to meet Jesus Christ in a new way as God’s grace and love is revealed to you through other believers.

The Walk to Emmaus experience begins with the prayerful discernment and invitation from a sponsor.  After one accepts this invitation they complete an application.  The Emmaus leaders prayerfully consider each applicant and in God’s time, the person is invited to attend a three-day experience of New Testament Christianity as a lifestyle.

Following the three-day experience, participants are joined in small groups to support each other in their ongoing walk with Christ.

Through the formational process of accountable discipleship in small groups and participation in the Emmaus community, each participant’s individual gifts and servant-leadership skills are developed for use in the local church and its mission.  Participants are encouraged to find ways to live out their individual call to discipleship in their home, church, and community. 

The objective of Emmaus is to inspire, challenge, and equip the local church members for Christian action in their homes, churches, communities and places of work.  Emmaus lifts up a way for our grace-filled lives to be lived and shared with others.
