As members of the Emmaus Community we are called to be disciples of Christ, one way to do
this is through a Servant’s Heart. Jesus had a Servant’s Heart, he is our ultimate example, you
may remember he washed the Disciples feet at the last supper.
Key characteristic of a Servant’s Heart.
- Humility: Setting aside Personal ambitions and pride to serve.
- Selflessness: Prioritizing the needs of others above one’s own convenience.
- Voluntary Action; Eagerly helping without being asked or expecting recognition.
- Love Driven: Service is seen as an active expression of love of God and neighbors.
- Action-Oriented: Serving as an expression of Love rather than an obligation.
- Sacrificing Giving: Spending time, or resources to help others.
- Perspective: Viewing no job as ‘beneath’ oneself.
Find a place to serve, and show what God’s love has done for you. There are lots of places to
serve in the Emmaus community, Emmaus walks, Chrysalis, Kairos, Kairos Outside, making
agape, and you can also angel at any of the events. Ask any Lay Director where you can
serve. There are lots of places you can show up and serve, all you have to do is look. Let’s
remember the price that Jesus paid for us, because he loves us and wants good things for us.
June’s Community Meeting will be at Lake Ridge Methodist Church , 4701 82 th Street, here in
Lubbock. June 4 th, 2026.
De Colores,
Larry Van Gilder, Community Lay Director
