Good News!
Proverbs 15:30 A cheerful look brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones.

At Emmaus, we are committed to live out and teach God’s truth in very practical ways. We want to give every person and family in the Clarke County area the opportunity to see and hear God’s plan in action.

Dear Church family,

It is with deep regret I inform you of Janie Harrison's passing this morning (4/30/08). We take comfort in her walk with the Lord, but grieve with those left behind dealing with the loss of a Mother, Grandmother and trusted friend. Please be in prayer for Ben and Sharon as well as their family.

Further details will be sent as made available.

Doug Hackworth


The following is from the Harrison Family:

Janie's funeral is at 4pm on Saturday 5/3 at Christ Episcopal Church, Millwood. Burial will follow at the Old Chapel and afterwards we will gather at the Millwood Country Club. Please come. Thank you all again for your prayers.

Weekend Retreat - 5/24 - 5/26
Attention Emmaus Families and Teens!
This upcoming Memorial Day weekend will be a blast for those of us heading north on interstate 81. Rhodes Grove Camp hosts an annual family camp experience, which is an extremely relaxing weekend of spiritual renewal and fun. There are many things for a family to do together on this weekend, whether you want to chill around the campfire, shoot some hoops, go on a canoe trip together, swim or try out the water slide. It is a very affordable weekend and this year's speaker is an amazing man of God, Tom Harmon. You can see his short bio along with some information on the camp at this website: http://www.rhodesgrove.com/events.htm

There are cabins to stay in, as well as RV parking and tent camping areas.
