April 2007 Emmaus Community Newsletter

Questions or submissions for the Heart of the Ozarks Emmaus Community Newsletter? Contact Susan Ledbetter at 479-442-8633, or email: susanledbetter@hotmail.com Next edition: Summer 2007
Donations for Food for Spring Men’s and Women’s Walks The kitchen teams for the Spring Men’s and Women’s Walks will need to purchase food and drinks for snacks for the pilgrims. The Emmaus Community is offered the opportunity to help by donating money (any amount you would like to give). (We have found that it is more cost effective and there is less waste of food if the kitchen team has money to purchase items as needed.) If you would like to send a donation toward food supplies, please make your check payable to: Heart of the Ozarks Emmaus, write “Donation for food supplies” in the memo. If you want to designate for Men’s or Women’s Walk, please enclose a note with the check. Mail your donation by April 13th to: Attn: Matt Charboneau, Treasurer, Heart of the Ozarks Emmaus, P.O. Box 8533, Fayetteville
Staying Connected: Reunion Groups Reunion Groups are an integral part to the lasting impact of your Walk to Emmaus experience. Has your Reunion Group changed times or locations? contact with your Reunion Group members? Send updated Reunion Group information to website coordinator Rev. Michael Topham, mwtopham@sbcglobal.net.

The Pilgrim Application must have the pastor’s signature. Include a $25 check for the deposit to reserve the pilgrim’s spot. Applications must be submitted at least 4 weeks prior to the walk.
