Greetings Hoosier Hill Emmaus Community from your Board of Directors, 

 

Greetings from the Hoosier Hills Emmaus Board of Directors,

 

With our spring walks just around the corner, we are thrilled to report that both walks are nearly full.  Thanks to all who have sponsored, volunteered, supported, and most importantly prayed for these walks.  We are so excited to see what God has in store for these pilgrims.

 

But we still need your help.  The 72-hour prayer charts for both walks still have many open slots.  Please help us to get these prayer charts filled before the walks begin.  We all know the power of prayer during these weekends.  Please consider signing up for a slot or more if you are able.

We also ask that you please mark your calendars to participate in the Candlelight service for both walks.  We all know how impactful that service can be.  As a community, let’s show up in a big way in support of these pilgrims.  The men’s candlelight service will begin at 8:00 pm on April 25^th.  The women’s candlelight service will begin at 8:00 pm on May 2^nd.  Both will be at Orleans Wesleyan Campground.  The address is 1617 S. Maple St, Orleans, IN.

 

Our May gathering will be on May 8^th at 6:00.  This gathering will be at Connected Church.  The address is 3575 North Prow Rd.  Bloomington, IN  47404.  Please note the change in location as this gathering was originally planned for Smithville Christian Church.  As usual, we will begin with dinner and ask that you bring something to share.  This will be the first gathering for our newest community members from walks 135 & 136.  We hope that you will be able to join us in welcoming them.  Please remember, you do not have to be a community member to attend a gathering.  In fact, you are encouraged to bring potential future pilgrims to the gathering. 

 

Finally, as we continue to consider other camps as the longer-term home for our walks, we have made the decision that our Fall 2026 walks will be held at the Orleans Wesleyan Campground.  Those dates will be September 17-20 for the men’s walk and September 24-27 for the women’s walk.  We ask that you be in prayer for those in your circle who might benefit from the life-changing gift of the Walk to Emmaus.  Additionally, we ask that you please consider submitting a volunteer application to serve on one of these walks.  Even if you have not been active in the community in recent years, you are welcome back.

 

Thank you all for your prayers and for your service to our community.

 

In Christian Love.  De Colores,

Scott Smith
