WALKTALK DECEMBER 2014
A NOTE FROM OUR LAY DIRECTOR....
Dennis is currently serving as Community Lay Director for the Chattanooga-Lafayette Emmaus-Chrysalis Community. He
went on Men’s Walk Number 8 in March of 1993. He is married to Sue McCloud and has two adult children who have three
grandchildren between them.
Believe it or not, we are now embarking on the 2014 Christmas Season. So many memories flood back when I take the (me to reflect on it. Our family has been very fortunate in that we were raised with Santa Claus and the Birth of Christ so closely integrated during the season. The idea that they are so closely related is the portrait of an UNCONDITIONAL LOVE borne by our rela(onships with one another as well as with Christ. As Chris(ans, we celebrate Christ’s birth and as human beings we celebrate rela(onships in so many ways. As a small child has said, “Why does Christmas only come once a year?”
It has been a busy Emmaus/
Chrysalis year. Having served all of you this year has been extremely gra(fying—especially with developing new rela(onships and making old rela(onships stronger. Please remember our last Gathering of 2014 at Brainerd United Methodist Fellowship hall on December 8 at 6:15 pm. Also note the lists of our 2015 Board as well as the Flights and Walks for 2015 and other per(nent informa(on regarding our community. Merry Christmas to all.

PRAYER
Morsels – monthly tidbits from your Kitchen Board Rep
The Emmaus Team Cannon clearly reminds us that as members of a Walk to Emmaus Team we are there to quietly support The Lord’s work on His Walk. Calling a_en(on to people’s individual contribu(ons during a walk is inappropriate. We try to avoid too much recogni(on of the kitchen volunteers efforts while on the mountain. Now that those walks are complete However, we would like to take a moment to publicly thank the individuals that managed the Kitchens for our Fall Walks:
Chrysalis: Rhonda Keith, Teresa Rimer, Deborah Boyd, & Marcia Dorris
Men’s Walk: Lloyd George, Libby Eachus, Gary & Lynn Roach
Women’s Walk: Rich & Barb Farlick, Paul Meffert, Lisa Finta, & Liz Farar
Of course, we’d also like to thank all the many members of the community that supported our fall walks by serving in the dining room (you know who you are). THANK YOU! DeColores, Mike and Glenda Peck
