Community Lay Director

Dear Emmaus Community,

"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God." Romans 8:18-19

Creation itself longs for the sons of God to be revealed and we are those sons (men and women).

"For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son that He might be the firstborn among many brethren." Romans 8:29

Men and women sold out to Christ.

"What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us!" Romans 8:31

We are destined to win!

Dear brothers and sisters, greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ.

I'd like to begin by thanking First United Methodist Church, Clovis for hosting the May Community Meeting.

Thank you to our fourth day speaker Sarah Brooks for her uplifting message about all that God has and is doing in her life and the life of her family. I'd also like to thank Keli Marshal for leading us in worship and bringing us into His presence. We also heard reports from both our Lay Directors, Terry Leatherwood MW 39 and Jill Denton WW 55, as they and their teams continue to prepare for the long awaited womens' and mens' walks this coming summer.

Currently there are three walks planned for 2021:
- Women's Walk #54 in June
- Men's Walk #39 in July
- Women’s Walk #55 in September

If you would like to sponsor a pilgrim please go to the High Plains Emmaus website and download the registration paper work and get them signed up. The cost of a walk remains at $215.00.

Please pray about how you would support High Plains Emmaus, through prayer, attending monthly meetings and giving financially. More than ever, High plains Emmaus needs your prayers, participation and financial support.

Our next Community Meeting will take place on June 1st at First Methodist Church in Portales. The Board will meet at 6:00 PM, Sponsor's hour at 6PM and Community will begin at 7PM. Please plan on attending, I know you will enjoy the fellowship, the fourth day talk, and Communion. Please join us as we come together in the Emmaus community as one in the Body of Christ, to pray, to encourage one another and to receive what our Lord, has for each of us.

Childcare will be available at the June Meeting, but still no pot luck.

De Colores!
