A Note from your Community Lay Director:
Yes, we are commanded to love one another but I know sometimes that is hard.
Now my husband and I have been married a long time and I know sometimes we
get frustrated with each other... Thursday night we had gone out to send off to
support Walk 201. We had just parked in the area where the pilgrims are dropped
off. I commented "They're going to think you are trying to drop me off but the
women's walk is next month." And my husband with all his words of wisdom said,
"Can I leave you here till then?"
Now, I know he was only joking but sometimes we may really feel that way. Then
a couple days later, at candlelight I was reminded of two things: #1 How truly
great God's love is for us and then # 2 How amazing it was to share that
unconditional love with the pilgrims that night.
As we walk this year together, remember to forgive always and love much!
See you at candlelight and community.
De Colores,
Tina

Thank You Letters Received
"We are so blessed to live in such a giving community. Thank you Big Country Emmaus for your generous
donations (taken up at December community) for our son. I know (he) will love his new chair. Blessings
to you & your families."
"The Big Country Emmaus Community was important to Curtis (Loard) and he cherished his Emmaus
brothers and sisters. He loved everything about the Walks and enjoyed making agape gifts. We want to
thank many of you who came to the visitation and services. If you weren't able to attend we know you
were there with us in Spirit. I want you to know that Curtis wanted his service to be a message of
salvation and those who participated made that happen." -Sheila Loard & family
