Greetings, Emmaus brothers and sisters in the name of Jesus Christ! I share with you a short message on behalf of your Blue Lake Emmaus Board of Directors. I would be remiss if I did not express thankfulness for the Holy Week that we have just shared with fellow Christians. Holy Week allows us to celebrate Maundy Thursday in remembrance of the Last Supper celebrated by Jesus with his Disciples, and Good Friday, the day our Lord and Savior died on the Cross so that the sins of the world, our sins, might be forgiven. He lay three days in the tomb, and on the third day He arose from the grave! Without the resurrection, we would not have Christianity. With this victory, we celebrate Jesus as our Lord and Savior. We receive His Grace that is freely given; the only requirement is our acceptance.
-
We will have a new group of Pilgrims arriving on Thursday to celebrate this Grace that Jesus freely gives to us. What an awesome Mother's Day gift for loved ones who will see a 'different' man return home after this Emmaus weekend spent on the Holy Ground of Blue Lake Camp. Let us all pray for these men as they experience their Emmaus Walk.

I encourage all of you to share the Emmaus experience with friends and family. Please pray about this before serving as a sponsor. Seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit as you consider sponsoring friends and loved ones. It is important that the timing is right for them to experience the beloved Emmaus Walk.

I close with this reminder. If you are interested in working an Emmaus Walk, please contact team selection. We are striving to involve more new people as Weekend Servants Your Board of Directors is also striving to keep the Blue Lake Emmaus Walks in compliance with the Upper Room Model. Each Board member has signed a covenant to uphold the model, and your cooperation with the Upper Room directives will keep us in compliance and will be appreciated.

God Bless You! I thank you for allowing me to serve on your Blue Lake Emmaus Board of Directors.

DeColores,
Jim Harris
