One truth God has been impressing on my heart is our need for one another. God never intended for us to walk through life alone. From the very beginning, He created us for relationships—with Him and with one another. Christian fellowship provides encouragement, accountability, and strength as we grow in our faith.
The Bible reminds us in Hebrews 10:24–25 to encourage one another and not neglect meeting
together. When believers gather to worship, pray, study God’s Word, and serve others, they
reflect Christ’s love and build each other up. In times of joy, we celebrate together. In times of hardship, we carry one another’s burdens.
Being part of the Emmaus Community is more than attending services—it’s sharing life, offering
support, and growing together in Christ. As we invest in meaningful relationships, we become a
living testimony of God’s love to the world.
Our Emmaus community provides so many opportunities to do these things. Joining reunion
groups, serving on teams, attending our monthly community fellowship, sharing food and most
importantly, praying for one another.
This week, take time to connect with another believer. A simple conversation, prayer, or act of
kindness can strengthen both your faith and theirs. Together, we are stronger because we are
one body in Christ.

Larry Van Gilder, Community Lay Director
