Work Day at South Seaville

A Message from the Emmaus Restart Group Meeting
Dear Friends,
We are so excited to restart our Emmaus community! We have held four meetings thus far to discuss restarting our Garden State Walk to Emmaus community. Our next meeting will be a Work Day at South Seaville on October 21, 2023, at 9:00 A.M. to go through our storage area for the purpose of cleaning out our storage area, and to inventory what we have and need, and to dispose of expired food items. Workers who can handle the crates are needed. Let us know if you will can be there.
To date, a Face to Face Encounter is planned for next April. Holly Staatse will be the Lay Director. If you are interested in serving, please contact her. (holly.staatse@gmail.com).
We initially discussed having Walks next April but have decided to schedule them for the Fall.
Chrysalis has changed dramatically and we will have to purchase new binder contents (assuming the binders themselves are in good shape).
We will have a Gathering on November 18 at 5:00 P.M., location to be announced. Plan to bring a covered dish to share. It will be so wonderful to see everyone.
We will incur a number of expenses to restart such as obtaining insurance which lapsed during the shutdown, renewing our CCLI license, paying for Constant Contact and for our website provider. During the last three years, we have not had any income.
More than anything, we need your prayers! Pray that new leaders will be raised up as we form a new Board; pray that pilgrims will participate in a Walk, a Flight, or an Encounter so that they will be blessed as we have been blessed.
Finally, if you are able, would you consider making a gift to GS Walk to Emmaus? Checks may be sent to Garden State Walk to Emmaus, c/o Bill Doron, 44 Ridgeway, Oaklyn, NJ 08107.

Gathering Sat., Sept. 16, 2023 at Pinelands Nesco

Greetings from the “Emmaus Restart and Gathering” Group!” We have met three times.   To summarize:
Our Covenant with the Upper Room became inactive thanks to the pandemic.   We have received word that we have been approved for a new Covenant letter.
To become reinstated with Upper Room, we are required to form a Steering Committee of at least 14 members for a term of one year to create a new Board and hold at least five meetings. We elected the following and more positions need to be filled.
Danny Smith, Lay Director
Charlie Ryan, Assistant Lay Director
Wendy Peters, Registrar
Carol Tait, Communications
Many details need to be taken care of such as insurance, CCLI license, etc.
We hope to have a Face to Face Encounter next April 30, May 2, 4 and 7, pending locating a host church and assembling a team and pilgrims.  A meeting was held on 9/13 to begin planning.  Contact Carol Doron if you are interested in serving (856-854-6875 or bcdoron@aol.com).
We hope to have Emmaus Walks next April, with training April 5, 6, 7; Men’s Walk April 18-21 and Women’s Walk April 25-28.
Chrysalis has made a number of changes. It will be for ages high school youth, ages 13-18. Flights will now begin on Friday instead of Thursday evening.
We hope to see you on Saturday, September 16 at 10 A.M. at Pinelands-Nesco UMC!
