The Walk to Emmaus

"Now on that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus.  While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and went with them...their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; and he vanished from their sight.  They said to each other, 'Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?' "

The Gospel of Luke 24:13, 15, 31-32

DeColores All,

Once again I come before you to let you know that HNEC Board voted on Tuesday night to postpone the upcoming Women’s Walk scheduled for July.  This decision was not made in haste but made in much prayer and in consultation with the Walk Leadership Team, as well as some of the Sponsors for and Pilgrims that have already registered for future walks.  While it is possible that things like social distancing, singing with masks, catered meals, split conference room tables, etc. might be minimized by the Summer, and that vaccines and herd immunity will be more prevalent, the consensus is that the “Emmaus experience” that we all know, will not be fully appreciated by Pilgrims and Team.

Please continue to pray and talk with your friends, church members and family members about going on The Walk.  The Spirit does not die because we are delayed, it only magnifies in time , and it will be spectacular when we get back to it!

The Board also discussed and is looking into the possibility of hosting another Virtual Gathering in April/May and a Live Gathering/Picnic on the Grounds in July at Camp Lone Star Pines (formerly Kaiserhoff)!  Stay tuned for more info on both.

Doug Spitz,
HNEC Community Chair
