Greetings Hoosier Hill Emmaus Community from your Board of Directors, 

 

 

Our first two walks at Orleans Wesleyan Camp are complete!  We would like to thank everyone who had any role in either walk.  Everything that you did on behalf of these pilgrims, helped to demonstrate the love of Christ to them.  Thank you especially for your prayers.  Both weekends were bathed in your prayers and God showed up in many big ways.

 

Please plan to meet our newest community members at our upcoming gathering.  It will be this Friday, May 8th at 6:00.  The location will be:

 

Connected Church

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.  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. 

 

Our Fall 2026 walks will also 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.

 

As we approach these fall walks, the application and registration process will be a little different.  Our board has added some additional responsibilities to the registrar role.  As a result, we have established a registrar committee.  To the community, the most noticeable change will be the promotion of the use of online applications.  Paper application will be available and can be used, but we prefer that you use the online forms.  To access the new application forms we ask that you follow this link:  Link to HHE Applications and more

 

This was the link that was given to the new pilgrims, but we ask that the community also utilize this link to get to the new applications.

 

If you are new to sponsoring, we ask that you attend sponsor training before beginning your sponsorship journey.  It is also a good refresher even for experienced sponsors.  We encourage everyone to take the training.  This training is conducted by Mark Cary, our Community Trainer.  It is held monthly in an on-line Zoom meeting.  The next session will be May 14th.  The time of the training and a link to join the training will be added here and posted to our Facebook page when available.

 

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

 

 

 

In Christian Love.  De Colores,

Scott Smith
