Lay Director’s Message
June 2009

What an incredibly moving service we had last month. The music that was offered was so moving. Thank you Randy and family for ushering us into the Throne Room of our Heavenly Father. I also want to thank Raylene and her team for the time and work they put in on the last Women's walk. God had called and set aside each individual on this team. They walked with each one of these pilgrims down that dusty road to Emmaus. And from the testimonies that were offered, there was not a single one that did not renew their relationship with Jesus before they reached the end of the journey. Can't wait to see their smiling faces Thursday at Community. For those who were unable to make it to last months meeting you missed a blessing. Dusty Roach was our Fourth Day speaker. I know, you are saying who in the world is Dusty Roach. Dusty is the Community Lay Director for the High Sky Emmaus Community. Myself, and Elwin have met with him to see how our two communities can work closer together. So, thank you Dusty for penetrating our hearts with the testimonies that you shared with us.

Your Board of Directors have really been working hard at trying to come up with ways to encourage our community members to come back. One of the ideas that was

discussed is to recognize our past lay directors and their teams. We are waiting until the busy summer months are over before we start this. When we kick this off, we will recognize all the walks from the first year for this community. We would appreciate any and all help we can get in contacting these teams. We also discussed having a potluck meal

before community. This may help the ones that would like to make the meetings but need to go home first and cook. Just pick something up instead and come to community and break bread with all of us. This also would start after the summer months. I have also heard from several people the reasons why folks have quit coming to Community. I am going to approach the Board with what I have heard and give them a suggestion that I have been praying about for some time. As your Community Lay Director I am concerned as to why so many have chosen to stay away. Without you our community cannot survive. I am convinced that God has called each one of us to this Community. I don't feel that the Father is through with us yet. My desire is that first and foremost God gets top billing on all our walks and community meetings. If we will get out of HIS way and allow HIM to take control, then HE will walk us through these difficult times.

2009 Walk's
  At present, there are no scheduled walks. Please be in prayer for the board as plans are made for the coming year.




Name Tags

Jeanie Plaia is in charge of nametags. We have several which have not been picked up. Please check with Jeanie at the next community meeting.

Sponsors, be sure to order nametags for your pilgrims.
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
Please support the Candlelights & Community Meetings.
