HOW IS YOUR FOURTH DAY TODAY?

Life with Christ is sustained by Gods grace as it interacts with our conscious thoughts. The Spirit of Christ continually acts upon us. However, we must open our conscious minds to Him if we are to receive the benefits of that grace. Think of your telephone. When it rings, you have a choice whether to answer the caller. When you do answer, there is a conversation. Similarly, the mind that is open to Christ engages in a conversation with the Spirit. Christ continually acts upon us and much of the time we are not conscious of it. That is prevenient grace. When we do open our minds (answer Him), grace becomes operative upon us. We respond, we engage in the vital dynamics of faith. line. Devotional practices are personal ways of receiving, nurturing, and enriching the relationship with God. The devotional practices are prayer, meditation, scripture study, and worship. I find one or more of these daily practices to be vital to a graceful relation with God and other people. Note, I wrote daily practices. It is as important as eating and sleeping. We can live a while without them, but soon we either starve or become unable to think coherently. So, how is your fourth day today? Are you feeding on the Spirit? Are you rested and refreshed with Christ? De colores, Larry Bailey
2012 Community Spiritual Director

We heard of how we can be open to Christ in the talk, Life comspiritualdir@hiskyemmaus.com of Piety during our Walk Weekend. I quote from the out-

A Note from the Community Lay Director

Be still and know that I AM GOD. Psalm 46:10. This will always be one of my favorite scriptures. It reassures me God is always there and convicts me God is always in control and not me. Thank goodness! Have you ever been told Youre never going to learn anything with your mouth open? I have. And if you know me, you know I am rarely without my mouth open. However, during my process to mature as a Christian, I am making myself be still and wait for the small quiet voice to guide and direct my path. And I am making myself not use my words in haste and asking (begging) the Holy Spirit to give me His words so that all I do or say is pleasing to my Father. I challenge each of you to do the same. The Hi Sky Emmaus Community has a busy summer ahead of us. In June we have Womens Walk #204, July we have the Boys and Girls Flights and August we will celebrate our 25th Anniversary! I encourage you to attend any or all of the upcoming activities. I am especially asking for support for our Chrysalis Flights which will be held at Howard College this year. Remember - our youth are our future!!! De Colores!!! Debbie BaxterCommunity Lay Director

From time to time, there is extra pieces of agape left over after a walk due to the walk not being full. Donna Fillip collects these items and brings them to community so that we can pick them up and use them again at future walks. Please make sure you check the bucket at each Community meeting and pick-up your leftover Agape.

MENS WALK 205September 20-23, 2012

GOD IS GOOD!! ALL THE TIME, GOOD IS GOOD!! This has been an exciting time for Men's Walk #205 (September 20-23, 2012 at Circle 6). After months of preparing to prepare, the time is now upon us. And I say us because this time is about us as a community rallying around a group of men to do battle in the spiritual realm against the evil that surrounds us and tempts us. The men of Men's Walk #205, both pilgrims and team, are preparing for an experience like none other in their lives, and an opportunity to be truly close to God in a unique and surprising way. Their lives will be changed by this experience and they will have opportunity to be sharpened as iron sharpens iron. It has been my prayer for months of preparing to prepare that God will shower his blessings of love and compassion on these men and will remove any obstacle that may get in their way of being a part of this experience. Our lives are on a collision course with abundant blessings and I know you will want a special man in your life to experience it. Remember your Walk? Remember the experience you had? Remember the period of silence? Remember meeting your table members that first time? Remember the talks? Remember the skits? Remember the music? Remember Dying Moments? Remember Candlelight Dinner and Candlelight? Remember the letters you received? Remember Closing? Remember your first community meeting? Remember your first reunion group meeting? Remember how the Walk changed your outlook of service at your church? Remember the friendships you've made because of the Walk? Remember the blessing the Walk has been in your life? Remember the first Walk you worked? These are all things God has showed me that I want to share with other men. Join me in showing who God is to you today. Shower a man in your life with the blessing of attending and being involved in a Walk to Emmaus. May God be with you as you share His good news today.

Community Notes
Help Wanted!
If you have given a talk on either a men's or women's walk since August, 2008 could you give a copy to Jimmy Smith? Our "example" pool is getting low. You can either email or give a copy to a hard copy to Jimmy. His email address is smith@gimmejimmy.com.

Remember
Cutoff for registration for all walks and flights are on the Thursday before the walk is scheduled to begin. This gives those making agape time to personalize things like nametags and allows for the time needed to order specialized agape from vendors.

Celebrating 25 Years
This August is our 25th anniversary as a community. During the community gathering on August 28th, we will take time to celebrate this awesome milestone for the Hi-Sky Emmaus Community. The board asks that all past lay directors help in this celebration by bringing their walk cross to the gathering. Make plans to join us in fellowship and celebration of the work God has done through Hi Sky Emmaus in these past 25 years as well as what He will do in the next 25!

"Take this most seriously: A yes on earth is yes in heaven; a no on earth is no in heaven. What you say to one another is eternal. I mean this. When two of you get together on anything at all on earth and make a prayer of it, my Father in heaven goes into action. And when two or three of you are together because of me, you can be sure that I'll be there." - Matthew
