Colossians 4:17 In Poor Richard s Almanac: Benjamin Franklin advised, If time be of all things the most precious, wasting time may be the greatest prodigality, since lost time is never found again.let us then be up and doing, and doing to the purpose; so by diligence shall we do more with less perplexity. Throughout eternity, God s servants will serve Him. We ll be worshipping around the throne in New Jerusalem and enjoying our fellowship, work, and pursuits with endless joy. But here on earth, we have limited time to care for our families and fulfill our Father s will. Let s spend time doing those things that convey God s love to those around us. Christ had only 33 years, and in His active public ministry He Had only 42 months. But He made every moment count; and on the eve of His crucifixion He said, I have finished the work which You have given Me to do (John 17: 4). Let s be diligent today to finish the work He s assigned us this day. (David Jeremiah s Journey) As I was thinking about what I wanted to share with SONrise Emmaus in my first newsletter article, I read today s devotional from David Jeremiah s Journey, and wanted to shared it with you. See Time Lost is Never Found Page 2 Mike Hawn Agape Chair Joe Bettini Historian Susan Endres Purchasing Chair Rebecca Yarosh Communications Chair WALK REGISTRARS Men s Registrar Ellen West Women s Registrar Linda and Barry Smith Boy s Chrysalis Flight/Journey Mike/Melanie Austin Girl s Chrysalis Flight/Journey Phil Clemons Chrysalis Community A New Beginning As winter comes to an end and spring is approaching we have something to look forward to something to anticipate (warm weather & flowers) a new beginning, but without the winter we would be overrun with bugs and would have an inadequate supply of water. As in life we go through seasons and it isn t until we come through a season that we see the real beauty of where we have just been. Highlands & SonRise teamed up and did something out of the ordinary a Journey Flight in February. What? We ve never done it that way before. As it was approaching and there were no caterpillars signed up, Hunter & Carolyn trusted God to provide and provide He did in a powerful way! Lives were changed relation- See A New Beginning Page 2 SONrise Emmaus

2 Time Lost is Never Found continued from page 1 As we get ready for the Spring walks, it just seemed to be an appropriate reminder of what we do as a community for the pilgrims who come to each walk. It reminded me that no act of Agape is ever wasted. Whether it be the gift of time, serving a meal, making Agape gifts, spending time in the prayer chapel, sponsoring someone on the walk, or all the unseen, behind the scenes acts of love that take place, God sees it all. I believe He is pleased, and I hope that He would say Well done, My good and faithful servant. Please prayerfully consider sharing your gifts during the upcoming walks. De Colores Nylene A New Beginning continued from page 1 ships restored God was glorified! If you haven t been involved now is the time! Join a reunion group come to a Shindig - serve a meal attend candlelight serve on a walk sponsor a friend. The dates for the high school Chrysalis Flights are June and the Young Adult Journeys will be July Applications are being accepted now who will you bless? Kubie (Call or text me if you have any? about dates or sponsorships or Shindigs ) The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, says my soul, therefore I will hope in him. Lamentations 3:22-24 SONrise Emmaus 2
