 URGENT: PILGRIMS NEEDED


The Team Weekend for the May/June Walks is next weekend, April 25-26.  

The Women’s Walk is nearly full, but the Men’s Walk is in need of Pilgrims. Please pray earnestly and quickly about sponsoring someone for the Men’s Walk to Emmaus to be held May 29-June 1 at the Woodland United Methodist Church.  A Team has been formed and they are ready, willing, and excited to be serving Christ in this ministry.

 Please consider whom God is putting on your heart to sponsor.

 Applications are on the website at ncnec.org.  Twelve applications must be in by April 21, or the Men’s Team Weekend and Men’s Walk Weekend will be cancelled.   Six applications have been received.
 Applications are on the website: ncnec.org.

 “NEW” WEBSITE
