A message from the Community Lay Director
We have been making great strides the past few months with two very successful walks at Oldenburg and great turnouts for candle light services.
I want to again welcome all the new members completing their walks this Spring and thank all those community members that gave of their time and resources to work the walk, and let’s not forget those sponsors bringing their pilgrim, and the members of our community that are working with the newest members.
The board is already working on the Fall walks in November (Men’s #73, Nov 5-8…Women’s #74 19-22) and has selected the Lay Directors (Bob Jacobs –Men…Scarlet Hudson—Women’s) and Board Representatives (Steven Baer –Men’s….Jenny Baer –women’s). It may seem early but it is a good time to go into your church and sign up pilgrims for the walks coming up. With the busy life style most of us lead, the sooner we get the applications the better we can plan and the selected pilgrims can clear their schedule. I made my walk over 17 years ago and remember it as if it was yesterday, as I am sure most of you do also. Let’s keep that experience going in our community. Pilgrim application can be found and printed off from our community website at www.seiemmaus.com , completed forms, along with the initial deposit, should be sent to our Registrar: Grant Davis PO Box 99, Guilford IN 47022 as soon as possible.
It also seems to be early but the board is now in search of a few good men and women to fill positions on the administrative board for next year. If you are interested in a position contact any board member, e-mail the community on their web site on contact me at mdcd1969@msn.com . It will be a three year commitment and you meet 10 times a year for about 2 hours. There are great rewards knowing you are working for the Lord in furthering his kingdom here on Earth.
If you have any questions please contact us and we will try and answer them for you and don’t forget to gill out that “Willing Servant Form” and send it in to PO Box 385 Dillsboro.
May God bless you and keep you close.

Getting Involved:
Some questions to ask yourself about your participation
How long has it been since you first took the walk to Emmaus or your Chrysalis Flight? Do you remember your experience that weekend? When you returned home were you a slightly different or a completely changed person? Have you kept in mind that Christ is encouraging you to be more in Him than you could ever dream of on your own? Are you where you want to be today in your relationship with Christ? What will help you be the person Christ is encouraging you to be? Do you remember the steps suggested for staying connected? Are you actively involved in your faith? What is the condition of your relationship with God? Have you supported the Emmaus community since your walk? Have you sponsored another person to be blessed as you were blessed? In what ways do you stay connected to the Emmaus/Chrysalis community? How is Christ calling you to serve? What is your level of willingness to support these events? In what capacity can you serve? Are you able to assist in the preparation of agape? Perhaps you may be asked to serve on one of the teams, does your life model the servant role that is necessary to be a strong team member and role model for the pilgrims? You may have heard sayings like “it takes a whole village to raise a child”; well it takes a whole community to successfully complete one weekend at a time. How can you help? Each and everyone one of us, all God’s children are able to support in some way, prayers, food agape, table agape, being the hands and feet of Jesus during the event, etc. Please thoughtfully consider your experience at Emmaus or chrysalis and prayerfully determine what Christ is asking of you.
There are several events the community will be in need of willing servants for throughout the rest of this year. Every small part any of you is able to accomplish will bring our efforts that much closer to making an impact on the pilgrims that we seek to encourage and awaken in Christ’s name and with His strength.
To get started , you need to fill out a “Willing Servant” form. Complete it, and return it to us as soon as you can. Remember, there is no such thing as an insignificant
contribution.
We look forward to serving with you…
