Livingston Area Gathering

Dear Friends

First Saturday is this weekend and that means an FUMC Livingston Emmaus Gathering.  Our area has a Gathering the first Saturday of every month.  In February we met at our home (and had @ 50 in attendance).  We vary the venue but since it is the day before Easter we decided to do it at our home again rather than disrupt Easter preparations church.
Yes we know that it is the Saturday before Easter but what better time to celebrate Christ. The evening will start with a potluck dinner.  We will provide the meat so bring your favorite side dish or dessert.  No specified guest speaker this month but please speak as you are lead about how God is working in your life.  We will have great praise music and Communion.

Who do you know that would be blessed by an evening with Christian friends?  Invite them!  Call them to join us for a night of fellowship and conversation.

We will meet again this month at 5:00pm at the Wilson home in Lakeside Village.  Our address is 945 East Lake Drive.  Call if you need directions, Bill: 281-797-0039 or Suanne:  281-682-3013.

Greetings From Livingston!

Our community has been blessed by two amazing weekends with God.  Both walks can fight over  the “Best Walk Ever” title.  It truly does not matter as they were wonderful spirit filled events which brought ETEC 55 new 4th Day. Praise God!!

Let’s continue the celebration as we collectively praise God at the Gathering this Saturday, March 3rd, at FUMC Nac.  Sponsorship Training will be held at 4pm followed by a 5pm covered dish dinner, praise music, 4th Day speaker, and Communion.  The entire community only gets together 4 times a year so don’t miss this wonderful evening with your friends.

ALL ARE INVITED TO THE LIVINGSTON AREA GATHERINGS NORMALLY HELD THE FIRST SATURDAY OF EVERY MONTH.  Livingston we will not be holding our local monthly Gathering this month as we want to support the Community event.  Look for information on our next event soon.     We are looking for a venue, any suggestions?  Should we try again for a bonfire before it gets too warm?  Outdoor jam session??  Picnic??   Think folks think!!

Have a blessed evening and see you all in Nac on Saturday.

DeColores!!

As I am preparing to leave for the weekend, I hope and pray that the women who will arrive tonight will be blessed. Please consider joining us for candlelight on Saturday night at 8:00 pm and invite all other 4th day.  Let’s celebrate what Jesus Christ has done in our lives together with a full walk of women that won’t know what hit them.

Hope to see you there.

Sponsors – Time is Running Short

That’s right, time is running short for you to get that friend signed up for the upcoming walks; particularly since there won’t be another set of East Texas Emmaus walks till 2013. So, pray for that guy/gal you’d like to sponsor. Start by telling them what the walk has meant to you. Give them one of these: “Here is a useful flyer: Emmaus-Info ’12-’13″ which you can download from this site, just click -Applications under the banner at the top of this page. Bring your prospect to this Saturday’s gathering at Diboll FUMC.

Here are the walk dates:

Feb.16-19, 2012— Men’s Walk #99 — Sid Abernathy L.D.

Feb. 23-26, 2012 —Women’s Walk #100 — Deaborah White L.D.
