Dear Community!
As you know the cost of everything is increasing. We have such a generous community.  We were blown away with the turnout and support for the spring walks.  The “rooster money” was amazing!  As a board we truly want to keep from having to raise the cost of Pilgrim and Sponsor fees.  However, we feel that a slight increase is inevitable!  With the rising cost of fees and cost of food we fell short during the spring walks. 
For a three day retreat the cost for Pilgrims has been $85 and Sponsors pay  $45 for a total of $130.  I know it is not a 5 star hotel but it is the closest thing to Heaven here on earth.  To break even, based on the spring walk, we need the cost to increase to $160.  The pilgrim pays $100 and the sponsor $60.  

We know that this might be a hardship for some so we are asking the community to help to offset the cost for the fall walks.  We are asking for the community to make a commitment to “Co-Sponsor” a Pilgrim/Team Member.  We are asking for 100 community members to be a “Co-Sponsor for $30.  However, no amount is too small.  If $30 is not in your budget go in with a friend and sponsor someone together.   As the Lord puts those in your path, pray about contributing.    
There are several ways you can contribute.  You can feed the rooster at the gathering or walks.  This money goes to the scholarship funds.  You can send money to our Paypal account @UnitedEmmaus in the notes type “Co-Sponsor”.  You can also mail a check to:
                                           Co-Sponsor United Emmaus Community

Thank you and Decolores,

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

                 
A surprise from the seat behind me. (This really happened today)

Church was really crowded this morning and I was sitting one row from the very back up in the balcony section. I had not noticed the people behind me when I came in.

Our pastor began his sermon by talking about an Ann Landers article he had once read. Apparently Ann Landers was tired of all the "year end reports" she got in Christmas cards. You know, the ones where everyone brags about the things that have happened to them in the past year. Things like "Bill got that promotion this year and is now the VP of the company. We were finally able to travel to Europe on our vacation this summer. Our son was voted player of the year on his high school team and .... and so on, and so on.

Ann said she was sick of such progress reports from everyone. She was going to send out a letter that year and she hoped everyone that received it would get the hint and take her off of their mailing list.

Her letter was going to read "Bill lost his job earlier this year and has not found anything else yet. He looks every day but so far, no luck. I have been sick and rarely feel well these days. Our son had to sell his guitar to fix his car that he wrecked. Life is really tough right now.

Everyone in the congregation laughed as he was reading it. Her sarcasm should prove her point.

But as the laughter started to die down, I heard the voice of a little boy about five that was sitting in the seat behind me ask his mother "Mommy, did you write that?"

I still have a tear in my eye. We have no clue as to how much pain is all around us.
