Please be in prayer for these walks and these teams.
As I wrap up my tenure as the Llano Estacado Community Lay Director, I want to sincerely thank you for your faithful participation in our community.
My pilgrim walk in February of 2012 transformed my relationship with Christ, and this community has continued to shape and strengthen my walk with Jesus in ways I could never fully express. I am deeply grateful.
Thank you to everyone who serves so generously. Those who were walk team members, Candlelight volunteers, those who help with food, music, and media at community meetings, sponsors of pilgrims, food and pillow agape makers, angels, lanyard makers, registrars, Mercy Retreat Center staff, Saint Joseph Church, prayer vigilers, name tag coordinators, storage room and supply coordinators, community meeting attendees, and our board members. Each of you is part of what makes this community so special.
You truly are the hands and feet of Jesus. Throughout this year, you have shown me the light, love, and grace of the Lord again and again. It has been a privilege to serve alongside our Spiritual Director, Tim Pickerel, and I do not know how to fully communicate the gratitude I have for each one of you.
As I pass the role to Larry Van Gilder, our 2026–2027 Community Lay Director, I pray this blessing over each of you and our community:
“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24–26
Blessings to you all, and thank you again for the privilege of serving alongside you.
De Colores,
Dawn Moore, Community Lay Director
