Book Table Now Features New Books

For all Hi Sky Emmaus Walks, new books will now be available for purchase by pilgrims and team alike.  The decision to add this feature to the book table was made at the May meeting of the Board.  By doing so, we will provide people with printed resources for spiritual growth and knowledge in their fourth days. 

The purpose of Emmaus is to deepen and better understand one’s faith, and to express one’s faith through leadership and ministry in the Church.  People need a variety of resources to grow in faith. Books by respected authors are invaluable.  Sandra Fussell, Robert Kirk, and/or Larry Bailey will select books at Mardel Book Store and/or order from the Upper Room. 

The books will be displayed after the talk on Growth Through Study and throughout the weekend.  Larry Bailey and Shelly Kuhlmann will coordinate the purchase, delivery, and return of books for each walk   Acceptance letters to pilgrims will include a statement that they should bring cash or checks to purchase books. 

Board Business

In an effort to strengthen communication throughout the Hi-Sky Emmaus Community, Carol Hopkins has provided a monthly summary of the Board of Directors Meeting. The minutes summary from the meetings of January 21, February 9, and February 18, 2010 are available here.

Team lists and pilgrim lists available online

Team lists and pilgrim lists are available on the website by clicking on the Calendar link at the top of each page, then by clicking on the walk or flight number. The logistics coordinator, food and gift agape leaders for each walk/flight will be listed above the team list, once determined.

Prayer Vigil

Remember that prayer is the stronghold between Satan and our walks and flights.  Be sure to join in the Prayer Vigil for each of the upcoming Walks and Flights.  You can now electronically sign up for the Prayer Vigil on our new database.  You can check the prayer time slots that you have signed up for, or see what times are still available for each walk.   Please be aware of the calendar dates for each walk or flight so you can get signed up to pray for the caterpillars, pilgrims, and teams.  The database Prayer Vigil does not allow for permanent time slots, so it will be necessary to go in and sign up for each walk or flight.
