ANN0UNCEMENTS

The CDC has recommended that for the next 8 weeks, organizers cancel or postpone in-person events that consist of 50 people or more throughout the U.S.
 
Dear Community, 
 
With the Spring Emmaus walks falling in the 8-week time period that the CDC recommends cancelling events, we will comply and cancel the walks. 
 
No one knows how long events will be affected by the pandemic, so instead of rescheduling, the spring teams will be moved to the fall and the pilgrims will have that option as well. Fees can be transferred to the fall walk or refunded.  
 
While we will not be able to congregate in person, we can all stay united in prayer and acts of kindness to those around us. This is an opportunity for those who are not in the high-risk category to be the "hands and feet of Jesus." We can also encourage one another by text, email and good old-fashioned phone calls!
 
Representatives of the CDC have met with Tennessee Disaster Relief to ask if they would consider assisting in meeting needs arising from the coronavirus event. They also want to ask churches to assist. What this might mean has yet to be defined however, some of the possible scenarios discussed were: delivering food staples to those who were in self quarantine and did not have family or friends to help, possibly cooking either on large scale or within church kitchens and delivering food, assisting with getting food to children who are home and are no longer getting meals usually provided at school, and setting up a phone line for people to call in and talk with someone to get prayer or encouragement.
 
The goal of Emmaus is to grow people for leadership in their churches. I think it is for such a time as this. I encourage you to lead your church in acts of kindness as noted above and be ready to answer the call from the missions board when and if it comes. We have to show Jesus to the lost by our actions. Prayers that you know His will in this for you, your church and our Emmaus community. 
 
De Colores,
