As I begin my term as your Community Lay Director, I am expectant and a little anxious. Each one of us heard the words during our Walk to Emmaus, “Christ is counting on you.” We responded with, “I am counting on Christ.” So hear I am, Lord. If you have been asked to serve on a walk, you may have spent time in prayer, doubting your ability to fill the role. Maybe you were just excited and embraced the experience! I have been prayerful in accepting this opportunity to serve, I have been doubtful but I remember I am only His hands and feet, and I am excited to embrace what we will experience in the coming year.
I am curious if you are praying about what is next in your walk with Christ. I encourage you to reach out to the Community by attending the upcoming Community Meetings, get together with a reunion group, reach out to someone from your pilgrim walk, sponsor a pilgrim or a caterpillar, make agape, attend send off, attend candlelight, attend closing, accept the call to serve in the Emmaus Ministries. There is no shortage of opportunity to serve the Lord.
I also want to express gratitude to David Ehlers, who served this last year as the Llano Estacado Emmaus Community Lay Director. David continues to be a tremendous leader to me and the Community. I also want to thank the rest of the Emmaus board for their continued service as well as those who serve in our other ministries.
The Easter season is upon us. I am always overwhelmed to think about the amazing sacrifice that was made for all of us. I pray that you will have a blessed Easter and remember what was done, was done for you!
DeColores,
Dawn Moore,
Community Lay Director
