Community!
Our year continues
and we continue to gain experience with changes in our walk procedures.
We had our first walk that included the support team and it was very
successful. Although we are still
learning our way, we have a good start.
One of the best parts includes opportunities for the bigger community to
be involved in each walk. We have
had some of these options in the past by having outside groups provide the agape
feast or music for candlelight.
Below is a list of additional ways that you and your reunion group or home
church Emmaus group can help each walk be THE BEST WALK EVER!
·
Sponsor someone!
Our weekends cannot happen without pilgrims which means they cannot
happen without sponsors!
·
Join the prayer
vigil
·
Provide dinner
Thursday night for the team
·
Attend the
pilgrim Send Off on Thursday evening
·
Come and pray
for any of the speakers during their talks
·
Set up for the
special Saturday night dinner
·
Provide the
Sponsor’s Hour or Candlelight programs,
·
Write letters to
the pilgrims
·
Provide special
dessert for the Saturday night dinner
·
Organize and
lead the Candlelight music
·
Attend Closing,
even if you don’t have a pilgrim there.
·
Organize and
lead the Closing music
·
Help on Sunday
afternoon with packing the trailer or helping load the music equipment.
·
Contact the Lay
Director or Support Team Coordinator of the walk and ask how you can help.
Another
responsibility we have is to spread the word about Emmaus throughout our
churches. Is your church active in
our community? As the song says, “it
only takes a spark to get a fire going”.
Be the spark that rekindles the love we all feel when we help with the
walks. Here are some ideas:
·
Help
your church learn about Emmaus – hosting a gathering or have an informational
luncheon for the church or provide pamphlets provided by the Upper Room
·
Help
your pastor to learn about Emmaus. We always need pastoral help on the walks.
·
Help
keep the fire lit in your church Emmaus Fellowship by providing lunch for the
team meetings or hosting a gathering
·
Have
agape parties and make agape or food gifts for the walks
·
Attend gatherings and candlelight services as a fellowship group
Get with your
church Emmaus fellowship or your reunion group and pick out one of these ways to
participate in the next walk. Not
only will you be a blessing to the team and the pilgrims, but they will be a
blessing to you! Help our community
flourish in the God’s name and glory.
Get involved!
In Jesus name we
serve,
