Bi-Monthly Newsletter of the Nashville Emmaus Community
June 2017
The Servant Emmaus friends, brothers and sisters of the faith, DeColores from the Nashville Emmaus Board of Directors. I pray that your life is filled with acknowledgement and thankfulness for all that the love of Christ means in your life. I also ask the question, how is your Fourth Day? I am hopeful that you are living your 4th days in a grace, practicing piety, study and action as a disciple of Christ. It is the theme for this newsletter article.
Are you serving? The Nashville Emmaus Community achieves the purpose of the Walk to Emmaus through the service of the members of the community. Some of us are involved directly with the community, others are not. Some serve according to the need as expressed in calls for signups on prayer charts, service in the kitchen, sponsoring a pilgrim, making agape, or attending a 4th day event. Others still never return to an Emmaus function or directly support the community, but serve their church and community diligently and with devotion, because Christ has called them. Then there are those that are waiting for the right opportunity or situation to present itself, one that comes from God. The Face to Face program is growing by leaps and bounds. It is too big and involved for the current board to properly administer and support. Although Encounter #7 is happening as I write this letter, the demand on those serving this event is great. We need good Emmaus people to serve this growing component of the Emmaus community and support the pilgrims that are searching for Christ. Now I ask you, have you the heart to serve behind the scenes? Are you committed to serving others? Are you ready to work with other equally committed persons for a ministry that God has called thousands to? I am asking each of you to consider using your gifts and energy to benefit the Nashville Emmaus Community for many years to come. If you have gifts that would serve this community, please contact me, or any board member about taking up a position on the board of directors or on the Face to Face committee. You do not need a degree, certification, or special skill. You only need a desire to serve and a willingness to do what you are called or asked to do. God speaks to us in every language and through all of His creation, so please, listen for the call, and respond with confidence. DeColores, Steve Zuercher Walk 142, Table of Mark 931-436-7479
