Brazos Valley Emmaus - Community News

We are heirs - heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ.

Romans 8:17

WELCOME

We want to take this opportunity to welcome our new community members from the Spring Walks to the Brazos Valley Emmaus Community (BVEC). The members of our community span from Centerville to Bastrop and Bellville to near Houston. We come in all ages (18+), shapes, sizes, backgrounds, and experiences. We are pleased that you have joined us!

Emmaus begins with The Walk, which you have just completed, and continues as a life-long family of Christians gathering to celebrate, pray, and grow together through reunion groups and worship services throughout the year.

Team Selection

The Walk to Emmaus would not be possible without our community serving each other. Everyone is invited back to camp as a volunteer for a couple of hours or an entire weekend – whatever fits your schedule best.

Team Applications are being called for and many members are needed. The Holy Spirit has already given you all that you need to be a blessing to others and there is leadership here to help you along the way.

Working Together for the Glory of God

The BVEC board is asking the community to help direct our 2024 tithing. "Paying it forward" so to speak. Ideas are welcome!

Blue Song Books - Do you have some hanging around in a box in a closet? We would love to re-distribute gently used books to our community.

Bring them to any Emmaus event!

From the Heart

Greetings, all! First my apologies for missing the April newsletter... I hope many of you said, "where is the BVEC monthly newsletter?"

Second, I had emergency open heart surgery March 27 after experiencing

four short warnings over two days that included chest pain and jaw pain,

both of which were serious attention getters.

I am thankful for God for those warning signs. I am thankful for my healing, my family, prayers and that I am still here!
