February 2015 Big Country Emmaus Community Newsletter Big Country Emmaus Community meets the 1st Tuesday of each month. The next Emmaus Community will be Tuesday, Februaury 3, at Highland Church of Christ, 425 Highland St. Babe Chick Orientation begins at 6:00pm. Praise and Worship at 6:30pm. Childcare is provided for ages 9 and under. Come out and welcome all the new pilgrims of walk #201 and others who haven't experienced Big Country Emmaus yet! Let's pack the house at Highland this month!! 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.

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
