News & Concerns......

Greetings friends of the Emmaus of the Albemarle Community

There is lots going on and the members of the Steering Committee have been busy

working with the upcoming Lay Director to make sure things are set and the men

serving on the Team for EA-132 are prepared for Walk Weekend.

There will only be one Walk for the Men and one Walk for the Women this year.

The Men’s Walk, EA-132 is set for March 13-16, 2025 and the Women’s Walk, EA-134

will be October  16-19, 2025. Both will take place at Eastern 4-H Center located at 100

N Clover Way, Columbia, NC 27925.

The Prayer Vigils are up on the website and we ask that you go ahead and sign up to

be in prayer for both of these Walks. It is so helpful to the Team to be able to print the

Prayer Vigil and have it ready for display on the Walk Weekend for the Pilgrims.

Send-off will be Thursday, March 13 at the 4-H Center. This is such a special event

and opportunity to pray for the Pilgrims and over their crosses. Pilgrims are asked to

arrive no sooner than 6:30 and no later than 7:00.

There is plenty to do Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to help the Servant Team with setup

and break down behind the scenes. The Head Coordinator for the Walk is Buck

Ambrose. Contact him is you have some time to volunteer. He would love to plug you

in somewhere.

You know the Pilgrims would love some agape on the Weekend. You can bring it

Thursday evening at Send-off, gave it to a Team member, or bring it to Candlelight

Saturday. There will be someone stationed by the totes to collect your agape. If you

would like some suggestions for making agape, please contact Tina Campbell, our

Community Agape Coordinator. The names of the Team and Pilgrims will be posted on

the website shortly.

We will have a Gathering on Saturday, March 15, 2025 beginning at 6:30 pm. Those

very special Sunday morning Placemats will be set out for both Pilgrims and Team

members for you to sign. We will have Praise and Worship, Pray over each Pilgrim,

hear a meditation from a Spiritual Director, partake of Holy Communion, and prepare for

the arrival of the Team and Pilgrims of EA-132 at 8:00 pm for that very special

Candlelight Service.

Gathering, 6:30 pm and Candlelight, 8:00 pm will be held at Cape Colony Church

of Christ, 831 Soundside Road, Edenton, NC 27932. Note this is a different location.

Let’s all make it our goal to serve Jesus faithfully so that at least one Pilgrim leaves the

weekend different than when they arrived. Better yet, to see all the Pilgrims leave

changed.
