I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Emmaus of the Albemarle Community for the privilege of serving as Assistant Community Lay Director and Community Lay Director. I have appreciated your support and prayers over the past seventeen months while working with the Board of Directors to advance the Walks to Emmaus. This group has sacrificed and worked whole heartedly in the best interests of this Community.
I am not one to give up, quite midstream, throw in the towel, or shirk responsibility. I am, however, one who recognizes when it is in the best interest of others to have someone else take the reins. I am in a health battle and have no choice but to step aside.
It is my honor to announce that the Board approved one of the current members, Ann Twiddy, to serve for the remainder of the year as the Emmaus of the Albemarle Community Lay Director. I will remain on the Board as Past Community Lay Director.
Please welcome Ann Twiddy and support her with your prayers, presence, and your service. Ann Walked on AE-22 and worships at Riverside UMC in Elizabeth City. She and her husband Michael are seasoned Emmaus folks who have continued to promote Emmaus throughout the Albemarle area.

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...”

📅 Women’s Walk: October 16–19, 2025
📍 Eastern 4-H Center, Columbia, NC
Mark your calendars, pray, and submit your applications soon!
We’re preparing for the upcoming Women’s Walk this fall. To make EA-134 a reality, we need committed Team members and Pilgrims. Please:
The Lay Director hopes to have all Pilgrims confirmed by September 1, 2025. Each Walk requires weeks of preparation, and all Team members are volunteers who commit to six weeks of training and cover their own Walk Weekend expenses.
Your timely support ensures a smooth and spirit-filled experience for all involved.
