The Prayer Vigil for Women’s Emmaus Walk #94 is now active and ready for you to pick your spot.
Consider these wise words from Corrie ten Boom,
“When Christians have meetings, the devil smiles.
When Christians make great plans, the devil laughs.
When Christians pray, the devil trembles”
Let’s make him tremble!

If you’re like me you can’t believe that the first month of 2010 has already passed. It’s time to get serious about our first two walks of the year; pray for the teams; get that pilgrim application in; and sign up for the “Prayer Clocks”. The 72-hour Prayer Vigil sign up sheet for the Men’s Walk #93 is now ready for you. Please click the link and select an hour when you will go to the Lord in behalf of the pilgrims and team. Your walk was bathed in prayer by people you may not have even known . . . now is your opportunity to return that blessing.
Be sure to check back heere in a few days when we will provide a link to the Women’s Walk #94 Prayer Vigil. Also, remember that we will provide a list of the pilgrims and team early in the week of the walk.
Decolores,

Here you’ll find the latest news in the January 2010 edition of the East Texas Emmaus Community eNewsletter, Emmaus Newsletter, January 2010.
Thanks editor Bonnie Shows, for a job well done!
Our next Emmaus gathering will be held on Jan 23 beginning at 5 p.m. at Camp Cho-Yeh in Livingston. This will be the site of the 2010 Summer walks. Sponsor training will be offered at 4 p.m. at FUMC Livingston and this will be the last opportunity for training before the February walks if you are interested in sponsoring someone. (It’s less than a 15 minute drive from the church to the camp)
Please bring a covered dish and enjoy great food, fellowship, and music in addition to looking at the camp and its wonderful layout and accommodations.
We need your attendance and support to keep our East Texas Emmaus Community healthy and growing! Make plans to join us – thanks!

The team selection process has begun and if you wish to work any of the upcoming walks/flights, the team applications are on the website. Please fill one out and send in asap so the lay directors can assemble the teams God has prepared for them. Please be in prayer for the walks/flights – we can never begin praying early enough!
Melissa — ETE Community Lay Director
Note from webservant: Melissa is referring to the 2010 Emmaus walks and Chrysalis flights that have recently been added to our “Community Calendar” (upper right, this page). Be sure and check them out.
Reminder about the Gathering . . . this Saturday, Oct. 10th at FUMC in Lufkin. Sponsorship training will take place in the Fellowship classroom and the Gathering will be in the Fellowship Hall. The Fellowship Hall is located next to the Christian Life Center (gym) on the west side of the campus. The Fellowship classroom is in the Adult Sunday School wing (a separate building) located between the Fellowship Hall and the main Sanctuary.
Sponsorship training is very important so that you are qualified to sponsor a pilgrim on an upcoming walk. It will begin at 4:00 p.m.
The Gathering consists of a covered dish dinner at 5:00 p.m., followed by fellowship, singing, a 4th Day Talk and closing with communion.
Hope to see you then!
Community Registrar Janice Cummings advises us of a late change in the Women’s Walk #92 Pilgrims and Team list. Check it out for yourself.

We had a pilgrim arrive too late to get on yesterday’s list, but we’re glad he showed up to give us a total of 18 pilgrims for East Texas Emmaus Men’s Walk #91. To find his name, church, and sponsor, check the Pilgrims and Team link here.
