News & Concerns......

After 28 years since my own Emmaus Walk, I’ve had the joy of serving in nearly every role—except two. Though I love music, I don’t sing or play instruments, and I’m not credentialed to serve as a Spiritual Director. But I’ve learned firsthand the importance of both.

Music ushers us into worship, and unfortunately, this year’s Gatherings have lacked planned music. If you have the gift of music or are willing to lead in that capacity, please consider volunteering as Community Music Director.

Also, if you are qualified to serve as a Spiritual Director, please reach out.

In the words of Ricardo Hardison:

“I looooove Emmaus.”
 

Many of us can echo that sentiment—even in challenging seasons. Watching transformation unfold in both Team members and Pilgrims as we encounter Jesus face to face is something we cherish.

But Ricardo once did something I’ll never forget. As he walked down the aisle pointing at each woman, he said,

“I’m here because of you.”
 

Then turning back, with deeper conviction in his voice, he said:

“I’m here in hell because you didn’t tell me about Jesus.”
 

That moment deeply convicted me. How many opportunities have I let slip by? How many people have I failed to share Jesus with?

My drive changed. I still love Emmaus, but I love Jesus more. Emmaus itself doesn’t save souls—Jesus does.

Let’s be driven by Colossians 3:15–17, 23–24:

“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts... Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly... And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus… Work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord...”
