News & Concerns......

For the past several years, Emmaus of the Albemarle has been operating with a Steering Committee. The number one priority has been to continue conducting Walks for both men and women. We have worked with our representative at Upper Room in an effort to come in compliance with the way we conduct our Community Events. As everyone knows, this means changes had to be made and it has been difficult to accept some while others are proving to be for the better. Being truthful, I do not agree with all of it and would love to revert back to “the good old days” and do some of the things we did before.

But the fact is we cannot do it the way we used to and still be an Emmaus Community. Another truth is that the Pilgrims of today are seeing Jesus and still being freed from chains and still leaving a Walk weekend changed people.

The time has come for the Steering Committee to transition into a Board of Directors. To do so, we need people who are willing to help. We meet on a monthly basis by Zoom to discuss and carry out the business of Emmaus of the Albemarle. Each Board Member also has an area to oversee.

Please be in prayer and listen for God’s call and then respond in obedience. We would like to have enough people agree to serve so we can have an official election in the very near future. If you have any questions or want to sign up, please email me at monaw@embarqmail.com.
