Emmaus Monthly Gatherings
As Christians we are called to fellowship, to
love one another as Christ has loved us and to build up the Body of Christ. One
of the ways we can do this is through our monthly gatherings. If you have been
to one, you know the excitement of seeing again some of the friends you made on
your walk, the fun of singing familiar songs, the joy of worship and communion
together and the blessing of hearing what God is doing in someone’s life.
We meet at White Plains UMC in Cary, from 7:30 to
9:00 PM on the fourth Friday of (almost) every month. The only times we don’t
meet are on walk weekends, very severe weather and when Christmas falls on a
Friday. Baby sitting is available. Please make an effort to join us – and bring
along a friend!
Our community gatherings also provide another
opportunity for you to serve. At each gathering we need several people to lead
parts of our evening. Please consider all of the following and sign up or give
us a call.
Moderator - The moderator keeps the evening flowing and sets the
tone for our worship. You welcome the community, recognize our first time
visitors and introduce the other members of the evening team. It is a very easy
job, with almost no preparation required.
Fourth Day Speaker - The fourth day speaker shares a short talk (ten minutes) about God’s
action in their life. This is not a sermon or an "Emmaus talk." Rather, it is a
first person sharing which will cause others to reflect on God's presence and
call in their own lives.
Music Leader -
As music leader, you will lead about 15 minutes of group singing from the Heart
of Carolina song book. You will present two special songs, one before and one
after the Fourth Day talk. You will also lead us during communion and a closing
song.
Refreshment Coordinator - You get a group
of people from your church family or reunion group to bring drinks, snacks and
baked goods. We provide paper goods and ice.
Setup - This is a great project for a
reunion group. All you need to do is come at 6:30 to set up chairs and tables
and pass out announcements and song sheets
