We must remember that the walks are for the Pilgrims, so they can feel the presence of Jesus. We had a wonderful Gathering at Pinopolis last Friday and a special 4 th day given by CT Meree, and as usual great music. Please check in with all the Board members about where you can serve. There was the Prayer vigil, Kitchen sign-ups, and camp set-up, Agape for the Pilgrims, and helping with luggage and Transportation. I am excited about the walks because we are sharing experiences with Pilgrims that we went through when we took our walks. Please try to be at the sponsors hour, Candlelight and closing. Each one of the Board members will be asking for help, please reach out to them to show support of these walks. This set of Walks is a big step in working with Midland Emmaus in that we are expecting 6 men from Midland on men s walk. I would like Lowcountry Emmaus to show the hospitality to these pilgrims just like our own. I still remembering taking my Walk in the foothills of North Carolina and I felt so welcomed. I thank God for these walks because he is the one who makes these walks possible. GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME, AND ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD!!!! Decolores, Dan Hare Lay Director

3 From our Facilities Chair: Ed Hickey We are in need of Willing Servants to refurbish camp on Sunday :00 PM or Monday :30 AM. Also Take down, Cleanup on Sunday :00 or Monday :30 AM With a few more hands the work will move quickly and not be a burden! Peace and DeColores Ed Hickey if needed From our Literature and Supplies Chair: Wilhemina Hearne Please bring all your Agape letters to send off. I will be there to collect the letters. Please remember to put at least the first initial and real last names on the envelopes. I would also like to thank Clara Stoner for helping with the lanyards, and to the members of the Sonrise Reunion Group for helping me string crosses. Without them it would have been very stressful for me. Also, a thank you for the lovely roosters donated by Denise Otts that will be with the literature and supplies. DeColores!!

4 From our Agape Chair: Karen Ayers AGAPE OPPORTUNITIES The time is almost here for our walks and Table Agape is needed; please provide 65 pieces of each. Also, include with your agape a separate sheet listing the agape item, a contact person who will take leftovers, and a list of those who worked on the agape. Please bring them to send off; if they are ready please bring agape items for both walks to the men s sendoff to facilitate set up and organization. I have received some response to the e-blast requests for snack agape and prayer vigil but still have plenty of openings. Please contact me by call or text at or by at klayers49@yahoo.com. There are other walks going on this month throughout the US and the world. I ve sent our wall agape letter to them (I ve received many compliments about the beautiful beach scene) and ask you to add their teams and pilgrims to your prayer list. We have received and printed letters from all over to post at our walks and some of them are real works of art!

5 Community Walk Etiquette: Gentile reminders for the community: Crosses are worn ONLY at Closing on Sunday There is no nursery at any weekend events; please make other arrangements for your children Park at Providence in such a way that your headlights do not shine into the church windows as you leave Please do not reach out to touch your pilgrims at Candlelight (I know, it s hard!) Pray, Pray, Pray all weekend Sponsor Reminders: Make sure your pilgrim eats before coming on Thursday; there is no food served Thursday evening Please stress the importance of putting away watches, cell phones, etc. The weekend is about getting away from the day to day so that we can get closer to Jesus. The next board meeting will be held October 16, 2018 at the Cabinet Shop 9475 US-78, Ladson, SC at 7:00pm.
