Welcome to the Hoosier Hills Emmaus website!
Spring letter from your Community Lay Director
Dear Hoosier Hills Emmaus Community,
Happy Spring!
The Spring Walks will be here before we know it! Remember the dates:
Men’s Walk #133 April 24-27, 2025
Women’s Walk #134 May 1-4, 2025
As of this writing, we have 11 pilgrims for the Women’s Walk and 9 for the Men’s. Great work!
The dates for paying the early bird fees have passed. Early bird fees ($130) for the Men’s Walk were due March 10, while the early bird fees for the Women’s Walk was
March 17. If you missed that deadline, the fees are now $150.
Keep in mind that when the applications are completed online or on paper and sent in, emails and phone numbers for the sponsor, the pilgrim, and the volunteer MUST be included. For the application to be fully complete, the fees must be attached.
Again, great work on getting those pilgrims signed up! Keep in mind that we need a minimum of 20-25 pilgrims to hold the Walks (12 Caterpillars for Chrysalis). We also need the applications at least two weeks ahead of the dates for the Walks. Please be respectful of the registrar’s time and effort in tracking all the pilgrim, sponsor, and volunteer information, as well as tracking the fees that have been paid.
- Remember that sponsorship:
- Is the first act of agape that starts well before the Walk begins;
- Undergirds the whole weekend with sacrificial love;
- Is the foundation for a healthy, effective Emmaus movement;
- Leads to the Community’s spiritual revitalization;
- Builds up the body of Christ.
The challenge for you and the Board is to commit to pray that God will lead you/us to sponsor a pilgrim and to be open to God and becoming His instrument by sponsoring. If we all commit to sponsoring one person this year, we will be able to have what we call full walks, which will allow us to meet our expenses and, more importantly, grow our Community.
If you have any questions, contact me at 812.345.4927 or [email protected].
DeColores!
