HELLO COMMUNITY

I totally forgot the newsletter for last month. My time management that month has not been very good. I do apologize for my shortcomings. I will try to do better in the future.

I want to say a special thank you to Hunter Rayroux for giving his 4th day talk. It is so good to see young people following our God. Hunter make us proud at school. We love you…

To the wonderful music that we have had, to all, my very special thank you. This community is so blessed with the amount of God given talent and we also show it every month. Emmaus without music is like a day without sunshine.

I want to challenge each and everyone of you, including every Emmaus Community to give to the Black River Village as much time and money that you can. The village is in trouble and needs our help. I challenge every individual to give as much as they can, also I challenge every community to get $1000.00 a year to Black River. I know that each and every one of us realizes how much Black River, The Emmaus Community and all The Walks have done in our lives and our Communities. It is time for us to carry the torch for a while, not just for Black River, for the new babe chicks that will help us Change the world one person at a time.

We have seen it in athletes and politicians and now and then in religious leaders such as Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King, Billy Graham, and Dorothy Day. A driving passion is a joy to behold when it is given to a noble and righteous cause. It is unlikely that a noble or righteous cause will succeed without the driving passion of those who share the ideals of the mission. However, it is not only, the well-known athletes, politicians, religious leaders, and celebrities who need or demonstrate a driving passion. We can thank God that every day countless men and women give themselves fully to bringing a vision of the world inspired by Jesus Christ to reality. These men and women place God at the center of their lives and place God’s will at the top of their priority list. Most often these heroic servants of Christ are not recognized and are invisible behind the scenes doing what they do best-loving God and neighbor with a pure love expressed in their actions every day of their lives. I want to thank everyone who serves in silent, who still thinks that the world is still worth saving, even if it is one person and one walk at a time. Upcoming Walks - Oct 7th –10th -- Men and Oct 14th- 17th – Women, both of these at Black River Village. Community Website: www.prvemmaus.org

The next Community meeting will be on September 7th, 2010. We also have a very special 4th day speaker with a very special heart. Come and be blessed by Vicky Davis.
