Community Gatherings
To the Grand Rapids Area Emmaus
Community:
I am your gatherings coordinator.
I have several ideas about gatherings and are always open to any input from the community
about new ideas or changes we could make it improve gatherings. After
all, we are here to serve the needs of the community as a whole.
One of
the things have been doing is having the Gatherings at
different churches each month. To do this, we need the cooperation of
several 4th Day groups who would be willing to host a Gathering at their
church. This involves confirming the availability of the church to hold
the Gathering and ensuring that the church is unlocked. We will make sure
all the music, entertainment, Pastor, and communion elements are taken
care of.
The Gatherings are held on the second Saturday of each
month except the months we have walks...that month gathering will not take place because of the Walks
and candlelight.
Bring a dish to pass for the potluck which begins at 6:30pm. Please feel
free to bring your family even if they have not taken a Walk. We look
forward to seeing you all there.
If you would like to join in only our worship and fellowship times, we
plan on starting those parts of our Gathering around 7 - 7:15. We will
have our
normal worship time with communion followed with fellowship activities.
We hope you are looking forward to reuniting with your friends, former
table-mates, leaders, and even brothers-and-sisters-in-Christ you haven't
met yet!
If you are musical and would like to share
a song or two with us or lead us in singing a song or two, please bring
any instruments and song sheets you
might need and we will enjoy the gifts God has given you and
worship/praise together!
We have also started offering
sponsorship training after each gathering with a question/answer
session with the community lay director. These sessions have been very
helpful and informative.
If your church is interested in hosting an Emmaus Gathering, please
contact us, as we are going to try and have the Gathering sites listed in
our
Emmaus Newsletter.
Thank you again for electing us to serve as your Gathering coordinators
and we look forward to seeing you all at the Gatherings!
God Loves You And So Do I,
Jennifer Darling
