Welcome to Southside Virginia Emmaus

We invite you to spend some time getting to know us.

Southside Emmaus is a large community in Virginia that stretches from the Richmond, Sussex, Powhatan, Cumberland, Buckingham, Appomattox, and Amelia areas, through Prince Edward, Charlotte County, Nottoway, Lunenburg, Halifax, Mecklenburg, down through Danville, and even into North Carolina.  This gives you an idea of just how large this Community is.

Community,

    There seems to be some confusion about agape for the upcoming walks.

  Sorry for any confusion you may have experienced.  Let me see if this helps...

 

 All bed agape is as before Friday and Saturday for the pilgrims.  And Team will receive their agape as usual.  

 

The only change occurs with the most personal letters. They will be given out Sunday afternoon. There is a limit of 8-12 letters to be tied together. The sponsor's job is to choose which letters qualify for that time, tie them together and mark them as Sunday personal agape.  If there are more than 12 letters in the group, the BTS support team will be the ones to try and determine which letters need to be given to the pilgrim and package the rest to be sent home with their belongings.  Please, I can't stress how important it is for the sponsor to do this sorting.  

 

The pilgrims will receive an agape bag on Friday afternoon as before. However the letters inside will be of the general nature. Generic letters sent to all pilgrims, usually unsigned.  And some trinkets can be given then as well. The model calls for anonymous acts of kindness and love. Just like food agape "just appears" from nowhere, these letters are to be sent without calling attention to the sender.  

 

If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact any board member.  I will also be happy to answer any and all questions. We want to make these transitions go as smoothly as possible.   

 

Please share this information with anyone in your church or circle of friends that does not receive e-mail.

 

Hope this clarifies any questions you have.

Thanks for helping us get the word out,

Nan Clemmons
