News from the Board
May 23, 2025
Greetings EOEE 4 th Day,
As we start into the summer months, I have been thinking about the impact that the
East Ohio Emmanuel Emmaus Community has had on my life, over the years that I
have served the community on the board, as team member and just being part of the
ways I could serve on the Weekend events. God urged me to think more specifically
about the teams I have been on and the lessons He has spoke to me over the years.
Each team has a theme verse which we try to live up to, as we serve on a team, or to
live by as a pilgrim as we head home from our first experience.
These are the lessons my EOEE experience have shared with me through team
meetings and weekend events. I share them with you, to be an encouragement as you
continue to walk with God.
Romans 12:1Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your
bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of
worship. Revelations 3:20 I have been standing at the door and am constantly
knocking. If anyone hears me calling him and opens the door, I will come in and
fellowship with him and he with me. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your
heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and
he will make your paths straight. James 4:10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and
he will lift you up. Isaiah 64:8 O Lord, You are our Father. We are the clay; You are the
Potter; we are all the work of Your hand. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is
in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come.
Matthew 4:4 Men can not live by bread alone but by every word that comes out of the
mouth of God. Psalms 91:1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in
the shadow of the Almighty. Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no
longer live, but Christ lives in me. Isaiah 26:3 You will keep him in perfect peace, whose
mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Ephesians 5:8 For once you were
darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; Walk as children of Light. Philippians 2:13
God is working in you, giving you the desire to obey Him and the power to do what
pleases Him. Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness
and all these things will be added to you. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through
Christ who strengthens me.
What a wealth of scripture that God has put in my life as I have served Him. What
verses has he brought to you over your life in service to Him?
