Bi-Monthly Newsletter of the Nashville Emmaus Community
September 2015
Looking Positively We have all experienced time of happiness and sadness. Times that are easy to handle and some that are hard to understand. We have just reached a disappointing time in the life of our Nashville Emmaus Community – cancelling our Fall Walks. It was hard to let the lay director’s know and then to tell you, the community. We could complain about it. We could have negative thoughts about where we are as an Emmaus community. We could say we are never going to recover. We could grumble and look at changes made that we don’t like. We could point fingers. Yes, we could – but we won’t. This is hard, but we know God's timing is in the middle of all this, and out of our devastation, His new life for us will bloom. We will look at what we, as the Board, can do to help us move forward. We will continue to look positively and make plans. There are external factors we may need to look at as well as factors closer to all of us. Please keep us in prayer as we move forward. 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9 Blessings and peace, Edna Vaughan
You are invited to support a new program in the Walk to Emmaus family specifically for young adults: Journey to the Table. We are testing the program October 7th – 9th at Cedar Crest Camp near Lyles, TN in partnership with Martin Methodist College. There are opportunities to help with background roles, called the ‘Big House’ in JTT, as well as participate in candlelight. If you would like to attend, please contact Brandi Belcher at (931) 424-7363 or bbelcher@martinmethodist.edu. You can also follow the story of JTT at www.journey.UpperRoom.org.
