Lay Director’s Message
January 2010
Thanks to everyone who brought food to the potluck. Again, everyone outdid themselves! The Christmas Service was so beautiful and meaningful; what a lovely time of observance. Thanks to Elwin Collom, Randy Koonce and the music team.
I am so looking forward to serving our Community as Lay Director in the coming year. I am anxious to see you all at Spring Creek Fellowship, 501 Birdwell, on January 14th. We'll have a potluck meal at 6:00pm and the Community will gather at 7:00pm. Please be in prayer for me as I take the reigns, also please pray for unity, wisdom and discernment for your Board of Directors in 2010.
We are now accepting Pilgrim applications for Women's Walk #54, March 4-7, 2010, LD Lorinda Herrod and Men's Walk #51, July 15-18, 2010, LD Maurie Smith. Please be seeking and praying in regard to Sponsoring Pilgrims.
DeColores!

Book Table
|
| Remember to take books for the book table to First Methodist Church or bring them to community. We will continue to supply our own book table. |
|
Community Needs
|
| In order to be more effective the community needs two laptops and LCD projectors for the music and powerpoint productions for walks.
The projectors and laptops will enable us to always have the music available by using a screen to project the words. They would also enable the Music Teams to be familiar with their own equipment and not have to depend on borrowed equipment.
If you can help, please designate your offering or contact a board member.

Community Info
Your board has actively been pursuing ideas to improve our community attendance.
The goal of Emmaus is to have a community driven ministry which strengthens Christian workers by the opportunity for fellowship and accountability and sends them back to their churches to be actively involved.
Walks are intended for the growth of Christian leaders and it is through community involvement that we are to continue that growth in the fourth days.
Please plan to attend the walk reunions scheduled for the next several community meetings and remember the new format of a covered dish supper.
We want to rebuild our community for the glory of God.
Please support the Candlelights & Community Meetings.
