God is Good!! The Women’s Walk scheduled for June 5-8 in Woodland is full and has a waiting list of five. If you have someone you want to sponsor, please consider the Fall Walks in Fallon, Nevada.
The Men’s Walk scheduled for May 29-June 1 has the required sixteen Pilgrims. There is still room for nine more!! Any new applications must be postmarked by May 13, 2014. If you know a man who would enjoy and benefit from a Walk to Emmaus, please check out what it takes to be a sponsor. All the information you need, plus the applications are on the website, ncnec.org.
If you are interested in working in the background you MUST submit an application!! You can get one from the website, ncnec.org. If you are a recent Pilgrim, you will be given priority.
!!!PRAYER NEEDED!!!
Prayer Warriors are needed for the Walks during the Three-Day Walk Weekends. Your names will go on the Prayer Wheel displayed in the Conference Room to demonstrate to the Pilgrims that they have been bathed in prayer for the whole 72 hours of the Weekend. Go to the website, http://www.ncnec.org and click on Prayer Wheel/Scroll. Scroll down to the Northern California-Nevada Emmaus Community and choose your hour to pray.

JUNE 14 – COMMUNITY WIDE GATHERING
9:30 AM – 3:00 PM WOODLAND, CA
In an effort to make the Fourth Day stronger for the whole Community, events are being organized for about two weeks after each set of Walks or Flights. Check out the attached flyer to learn about the event scheduled for June 14, 2014. EVERYONE is Welcome!! Bring a friend!! Bring a stranger!! This is a new kind of Gathering. There will be music, fourth day talks, a potluck lunch and communion as always. But, there will also be detailed information for new community members (a refresher for current members) about sponsorship and applying for positions on future walks. After lunch there will be a concerted effort to connect current and new community members to reunion groups. As a welcoming gift to new members and guests, current members are asked to bring the potluck items for lunch.
Another Community Wide Gathering is scheduled for August 9, in Truckee, CA, after the Flights and a third is scheduled for November 1 in South Reno, NV. More information coming.
The Walk to Emmaus and Chrysalis programs are not about the weekend; they are about what follows the weekend. Without strong community support for the Fourth Day, the weekend experience loses its effectiveness and the long-term continuation of the local community becomes highly questionable.
Please Pray for the Teams who will be serving on the Walks in Woodland, CA
