Men's Emmaus A Success

Reynoldsburg Men's Emmaus walk #46 came to a close this evening, and it appeared to be a success! Despite a language barrier it seems that the Haitian men were touched by the Holy Spirit this weekend. The Emmaus experience transcends all barriers and is truly blessed by Christ. We attended candlelight on Saturday night, cooked lunch for the men today, and attended closing tonight. After all that went on we were too tired for sharegroup tonight! The women's walk is happening next weekend, with the wives of the Haitian men from this week's walk participating next week. Tracy from 104.9 "The River" will be in next weekend's walk as well. The Reynoldsburg Emmaus Community is truly on fire for Christ!

The evening closed with the Seven16 service at RUMC. This is a more contemporary service for the younger to 40 (or so) crowd. Free coffee, great music and a timely message. Pastor Woody did his usual superb job tonight at Seven16. The theme was that we have all drawn the "short straw" and deserve death, but Christ (the only one to draw the "long straw") instead gave his life for us...so that we could have the promise of eternal life! If you want more information about the Seven16 service you can go here: http://www.seven16.com/ . We certainly would be glad to see you there!
