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.  Arrangements will be made for selection and delivery of books from Mardel Book Store and/or ordered from the Upper Room. 

Board Business

In an effort to strengthen communication throughout the Hi-Sky Emmaus Community, Debbie Baxter, Board Secretary, is providing a monthly summary of the Board of Directors Meeting. The minutes summary from the meetings of May 13, 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 data base 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.   For assistance, you can contact Heidi Anderson, database manager.

Database

We have officially made the switch for email notifications to the database email list. If you have registered for the database and have not been receiving email reminders, please go to the "You" menu and select "Your Options" and make sure there is a check in the box to receive email. We also now have the option of using something other than your email address as your login for people who share an email address.
