As July arrives with its long days and steady warmth, we are reminded of the simple rhythms of summer like rest, reflection, and quiet growth. This season offers us gentle moments to slow down, to notice God’s presence in the everyday, and to listen for His still, small voice. The rains also remind us of his provision.

As we celebrate Independence Day, we are reminded of the deeper freedom we have been given through Christ. Freedom not just from, but for. Freedom to love, to serve, to walk in grace, and to live with purpose. It is a gift we’re invited to embrace each day as we follow Him. His Spirit continues to move in us in quiet ways. Let’s allow the Spirit to draw us closer to Him.

The Emmaus community remains a place where we can keep growing in grace and faith together. Whether it is through attending send-off, candlelight, or closing, offering to serve, or simply showing up with a willing heart, each small “yes” makes a difference. Thank you to all who showed up to show the love of the Lord to the pilgrim and team for the during Women’s Walk #170. Just WOW!

Let’s walk through this summer with open hands and open hearts, grateful for the freedom we have in Christ, and ready to follow wherever He leads.

De Colores,
Dawn Moore
Community Lay Director
