My Walk was 24 years ago. Even though I had attended church my entire life prior to my Walk, that weekend has had a great influence on my spiritual growth ever since. Over the years, I have enjoyed serving in our community in various ways. Now, I am thankful for the privilege of serving as the SONrise Community Lay Director for 2016. I look forward to serving with you and seeing you at community events. We have two Walks coming up in the next several weeks and here are some things that I d like for you to think about. What impact did your Walk have on your spiritual journey? Where might you be spiritually if you had not gone on a Walk? How did going on a Walk happen for you? Who invited you and sponsored you? Going on a Walk is a great gift. You can t pay it back but you can pay it forward. Who might God be leading you to sponsor? Application forms and sponsor guidelines are available on our website. http://www.sonrise-emmaus.org/holyspirit/applications.cfm In addition to praying about who you might sponsor, please also be in prayer for the teams and the pilgrims. Additionally, I encourage you to participate in the Walks: help with set-up and take-down, serve meals, come to Candlelight, visit the Prayer Chapel, sign up for the 24-Hour Prayer Vigil, and write letters to Pilgrims. De Colores, Ernie Vogel, Community Lay Director 2016 Chrysalis News As I sat looking out at a Winter wonderland, looking forward to Spring, I thought about my message in the last newsletter about Chrysalis going through a change of seasons. God has heard out prayers! We are joining with Highlands Emmaus to have a boy and girls Chrysalis April 8-10 in Boone, NC. Chrysalis is open to high school sophomores through age 22. Details are still being worked out and I will have more information, and registration forms, in the next couple of weeks and will post on Facebook. Please be in prayer for who you can sponsor, all the caterpillars, and the teams. If you have any questions you can message me on Facebook, call/text me at 423-416-3052. De Colores, Melisa Morse, 2016 Chrysalis Community Lay Director 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 SONrise Emmaus
