From the Community Lay Director
The last time I shared with you I was just home from a vacation in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. I have spent a bunch of time since my return in my garden. Being away for a week when still employed gets you really behind with your emails. Being away from a garden in the early part of the growing season gets you really behind on weed control. Weeds seem to be what grows best early in the growing season. I am mostly caught up with the weeds now. I’ll probably fall behind on the weeds again with all of the heat that is in the forecast.
I was getting concerned about the Lexington Emmaus Community falling behind on preparations for Women's Walk 157 in October because we did not yet have a Lay Director for the Walk. I am very pleased to let you know that we have a Lay Director for Walk 157!! That is just the first step in an involved process. Team members need to be found and brought together for training. Pilgrims need to be sponsored. If the uncertainty has caused you to be reluctant to volunteer to be a part of the Walk 157 team; if you have been holding off on recruiting pilgrims to sponsor, it is now time for full speed ahead.
Looking forward to seeing you on July 10 for Gathering. No potluck supper for the Gathering. The Board will be preparing the meal for you!
DeColores!!
