1 1 Emmanuel Emmaus Winter Is in the Air From the Community Lay Director *********SAVE THE DATE********** December 10, 2016 I know that your social calendar is filling up for December so please don t forget that we are having our annual Christmas Gathering in less than a month Please bring a covered dish and or dessert Each year this gathering puts a period on the end of the year and gives us time to reflect on the successes of our Men s and Women s walks over the past year. This is a time to rekindle the relationships, both new and old that have been made through our Walk to Emmaus experience. This is also a time to look to the future and set the tone for the Walks for the upcoming year. Working together as a community of believers ensures that each new Pilgrim has the Best Walk Ever experience. I m looking forward to seeing all of you there and enjoying the spirit of the season as we celebrate the birth of our savior the Lord Jesus Christ! May His Blessings of Peace and Grace be with you all. De Colores, J.D. ********************************************************************* Christmas Gathering December 10, :00 PM Salem United Methodist Church 378 North Pilot Knob Road Denver, NC ***************************************************

6 6 From the Community Spiritual Director A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices, for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. These words are found in O Holy Night, a Christmas carol sung by soloists in many Christmas Eve services. I find these words particularly meaningful this year, as we await the change of leadership in our country after an unprecedented election. No matter what has happened in the world, Hope has still come to the earth in the person of Jesus and that will not change. God sent Jesus, not to condemn the world (creation) but to save the world through him. (John 3:17) Let s remember this hope, and remember that Jesus taught that our neighbor includes those people that we think we cannot stand, and we are to love them, to seek their wellbeing. God loves us. De Colores! Diana Killian Emmanual Emmaus SD Spring Walks 2017 Men s April Women s April Chrysalis 2017 Boy s August 4-6 Girl s August 11-13
