Please mark this new price on any applications you intend to use. For those pilgrims who have already registered, we will honor the previous $75 fee. Even though the move to Camp Lakeview will save us money compared to Camp Moneto, we still need a fee increase to cover other walk and administrative costs that have increased since our last fee increase 5 or 6 years ago. Where else can you get three nights lodging At $85, we are still on the low range compared to other communities who use retreat facilities. The average is about $100 with some in the $125 to $130 range. We budget carefully and do our own cooking to keep costs to a minimum. Where else can you get three nights lodging and eight great meals for only $85? Plus the snack table and free entertainment! As always, full and partial scholarships are available for those pilgrims and team members who need them. In the case of scholarships it always helps when sponsors can afford to pay at least the $20 registration fee for their pilgrims. and eight great meals Scholarships for only $85? Plus the We are currently in need of donations snack table and free to the scholarship fund. We have less entertainment, too! than $200 at this time.

2 P AGE 2 Fourth Days We need a few good people! I am in the process of organizing Reunion Groups for our Emmaus Community. Each group that is organized with all new pilgrims will need a mentor to get them started. It will require meeting a few times with this new reunion group to help them get acquainted with the 4th day meeting format. If you feel God calling you to this, please contact me. Don t delay, new reunion groups and the spring walks are fast approaching You can also contact me if you are still looking to join a group. Rev. Marianne Green Phone: mgreen@insightbb.com Address: 416 Kelly Dr. Brownstown, IN Mentors are needed to help new Reunion Groups get started.

3 T HE EMMAUS NEWS P AGE 3 New Member Profile Blessings to all! My name is Cheryl Hunt, Walk # 31, Table of Lydia and I am a new Board member as of January I serve in the position of Newsletter. It is my job to communicate to the Columbus IN Emmaus Community about upcoming activities and information specific to the Emmaus Community. I will collect articles from board and community members about information on previous walks, upcoming walks, Fourth Day news and other news related to Emmaus programs. My husband, Curt, and I went through the fall walks in It opened us up to a whole new relationship with God. Curt answered the call to ministry that following spring. That summer I acquired a new role of minister s wife, as Curt was assigned to a part time pastorate at Marietta United Methodist Church in Shelby County. It has been an awesome blessing. Curt will graduate from The Emmaus News seminary this spring (2004). My son Ryan will be 17 in March and he is a mature teenager with a bright future ahead of him. My professional calling has been as a consultant to businesses, healthcare and nonprofit organizations assisting them in organizational development, planning, etc. My spare time consists mostly of my love for anything to do with art including watercolor, any kind of craft, and the graphic arts (hence my offer to do the Emmaus newsletter). If I can tie that together with my love of nature and animals then all the better!

Luke24: Jesus on the road to Emmaus That same day two of Jesus followers were going to a town named Emmaus... They were talking about everything that had happened. While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and began walking with them, but they were kept from recognizing him.. (After Jesus disappeared) They said to each other, It felt like a fire burning in us when Jesus talked to us on the road and explained the Scriptures to us. Have you felt the fire today? Share the warmth with others!
