It’s November everyone and that means it is time to vote so get out and vote in the general elections. Also, remember that we will also be having Emmaus board elections at the November community meeting. We will elect new board members and will be voting on community fellowship and post-walk feast for future walks.
We will elect two women, two men, and one clergy to the HP Emmaus Board to serve three-year terms.

These are the Candidates: (Thank you for your willingness to run to all candidates)

Women: Alice Armstrong, Amanda Boydston, Mandy Leatherwood, and Jenny Owens
Men: Blake Curtis, Dominque Small, Clayton Wolf, Bobby Vinson
Clergy: Lupe Acevedo, Franklin Smith

If you would like to sponsor a pilgrim, please go to the High Plains Emmaus website and download the registration paperwork and get them signed up. Please remember when signing up a pilgrim it is important to also complete the sponsor's application. 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. Pray also how you might support the Ark in Amherst.

Our next Community Meeting will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 1st at Kingswood United Methodist Church in Clovis, NM. The Board will meet at 5:30 PM, Sponsor's hour is at 6PM and Community will begin at 7PM. Please join us as we come together in the Emmaus community as one, to pray, to encourage one another and to receive what our Lord, has for each of us. Hope to see you there!

Reminder: We will be voting on the candidates for the board!

Childcare will be available at the community meeting, still no potluck.

De Colores!
