currently have 14 members. We also have 7 new adult pilgrims & 2 teen
pilgrims scheduled for up coming walks in 2001 pending acceptance. Jesus is
the "Lighthouse" that saved us from sin, which is why we picked our name.

Our small (6) reunion group of just a few years ago has grown to a wonderful group of about 20!  We try to meet once a month for fellowship, prayer, concerns, and agape work.  For many years, our small group made all of the lanyards plus sent 3 agape gifts for each walk.  After much thought and discussion, we decided we could no longer provide the lanyards but continue to send at least two and usually three agape for each walk.  We are most grateful to the reunion group that has taken over this huge project, though we don't know who you are.  We have members who are active also in Kairos and Chrysallis. We look forward to new members who have experienced the walk of a lifetime!  God's Handmaidens.

Diamonds In the Rough
Hot Springs, First UMC

Contact:
Carol Nash Smith
cnash@direclynx.net  

We have grown in the past year from about 8--12 members to an astonishing number of approximately 42.  Lots of activity in our church in the past year. Scott Gallimore is assistant pastor and he is very active, as you know. Most of our members are fairly new to Emmaus, but some are real old timers, like Pam and Frank Warren, Walks 3&4. Right now we are all meeting on the 2nd Tuesday of each month  at 6 p.m. in the Christian Life Center of our church. This is actually more a monthly gathering than a real reunion group. We probably need to split the group into smaller, more intimate gatherings that meet weekly.  We love it when people in the Hot Springs area become interested in meeting with us and welcome all Emmaus members. Several in our group are not members of First UMC.  Carol Nash Smith, Louie Shiver,  Rita and Scott Gallimore, Virginia Staton, Pam and Frank, Misty and John Bondhus, and Debbie and Jeff Venable are all quite active participants.
