I have read the story of a fellow who worked at the port with his brothers and a few friends. They didn’t get out much or travel very far. They had little education and were not politically correct; in fact, they hated those that were different. Yet when they felt the tug of the Holy Spirit, they said…yes. Their willingness had an affect upon me and I’m sure, it has affected you. You may have read about these men also—their names by the way, include Peter, James, John…etc. Jesus didn’t call the rich, the educated, the politically and socially correct. He called ordinary people. As Max Lucado puts it in his book Out Live Your Life,” Jesus’ last commission may be expanded to “you hillbillies will be my witnesses, you uneducated and simple folk will be my witnesses, you who once called me crazy, who shouted at me in the boat and doubted me in the upper room, you temperamental, parochial net casters and tax collectors…you will be my witnesses.” Remember the gathering that long ago day in Jerusalem during the Festival of Weeks, Shavu’ot as the Jews knew it. The festival commemorated the time when the first fruits were harvested and brought to the Temple. The festival also celebrated the giving of the Torah which symbolically redeemed the Jews from idolatry and immorality after the Passover freed them from physical bondage. It is into this time that God sent His Holy Spirit to reside in individuals….Pentecost as we now know it today. The disciples had no knowledge He was coming, He was not expected or planned for. All the disciples knew was that there was a roar throughout the whole house of what sounded like wind after which little tongues of fire sat on each of them…..and they began telling the wonders of God in languages understood by those gathered in the city. The disciples didn’t get qualified to speak first, yet because the select few were willing to tell others how much God loved them, people understood and thousands accepted His love and believed that day. Just as the disciples may not have felt qualified, you may not feel qualified. But God doesn’t care that you feel that way as He qualifies those He calls and will qualify you in your sphere of life whether you are a teenager, homeless, government official, business leader, your family. Who surrounds you frequently in your life? Trust God as you seize the opportunities He gives you to show His love for them. This then brings me to a question I must then ask, where do I fit in, where do you fit in? You who are sitting reading this letter in the PSWTE Gazette, where do you fit in? PSWTE was designed as a tool to help encourage lay leadership not for a fun weekend, not for a feel good weekend, not for a cure all your problems weekend, but for a weekend of service and training to strengthen the local church body, to develop leadership, to become the hands and feet of Jesus. What is Jesus calling you to do today? Remember, He doesn’t always call the qualified but He qualifies those He calls. Say yes to His nudge today and see what Jesus can do with you. As you consider where you fit in, I want to challenge you to make one, yes just one, more resolution for this new year. Make it your personal goal that you not only get through scripture this year, but that the scripture gets through you. Use your growing knowledge of scripture, limited though it may be, to affect someone else’s life at work through your work ethics, at church through your involvement, at Emmaus by signing up as a servant on a Walk or as a sponsor (check your Fourth Day book for good pointers as sponsoring begins long before you invite someone, continues after you have gotten them involved in Emmaus several times, and then….it doesn’t end as you continue to pray for them.) Doing just these four activities will be challenging and at times difficult, but next Christmas as you look back at the year you just finished, you will be amazed at the blessings God has given you through these efforts.

I have read the story of a fellow who worked at the port with his brothers and a few friends. They didn’t get out
much or travel very far. They had little education and were not politically correct; in fact, they hated those that
were different. Yet when they felt the tug of the Holy Spirit, they said…yes. Their willingness had an affect upon
me and I’m sure, it has affected you. You may have read about these men also—their names by the way, include
Peter, James, John…etc. Jesus didn’t call the rich, the educated, the politically and socially correct. He called
ordinary people. As Max Lucado puts it in his book Out Live Your Life,” Jesus’ last commission may be expanded
to “you hillbillies will be my witnesses, you uneducated and simple folk will be my witnesses, you who once
called me crazy, who shouted at me in the boat and doubted me in the upper room, you temperamental, parochial
net casters and tax collectors…you will be my witnesses.”
Remember the gathering that long ago day in Jerusalem during the Festival of Weeks, Shavu’ot as the Jews knew
it. The festival commemorated the time when the first fruits were harvested and brought to the Temple. The
festival also celebrated the giving of the Torah which symbolically redeemed the Jews from idolatry and
immorality after the Passover freed them from physical bondage. It is into this time that God sent His Holy Spirit
to reside in individuals….Pentecost as we now know it today. The disciples had no knowledge He was coming,
He was not expected or planned for. All the disciples knew was that there was a roar throughout the whole house
of what sounded like wind after which little tongues of fire sat on each of them…..and they began telling the
wonders of God in languages understood by those gathered in the city. The disciples didn’t get qualified to speak
first, yet because the select few were willing to tell others how much God loved them, people understood and
thousands accepted His love and believed that day. Just as the disciples may not have felt qualified, you may not
feel qualified. But God doesn’t care that you feel that way as He qualifies those He calls and will qualify you in
your sphere of life whether you are a teenager, homeless, government official, business leader, your family. Who
surrounds you frequently in your life? Trust God as you seize the opportunities He gives you to show His love for
them.
This then brings me to a question I must then ask, where do I fit in, where do you fit in? You who are sitting
reading this letter in the PSWTE Gazette, where do you fit in?
PSWTE was designed as a tool to help encourage lay leadership not for a fun weekend, not for a feel good
weekend, not for a cure all your problems weekend, but for a weekend of service and training to strengthen the
local church body, to develop leadership, to become the hands and feet of Jesus. What is Jesus calling you to do
today? Remember, He doesn’t always call the qualified but He qualifies those He calls. Say yes to His nudge
today and see what Jesus can do with you.
As you consider where you fit in, I want to challenge you to make one, yes just one, more resolution for this new
year. Make it your personal goal that you not only get through scripture this year, but that the scripture gets
through you. Use your growing knowledge of scripture, limited though it may be, to affect someone else’s life at
work through your work ethics, at church through your involvement, at Emmaus by signing up as a servant on a

Lay Director Thoughts — Walk #204
Seven years ago I was sitting in the Chapel at Edmonds First United Methodist Church as a pilgrim on Walk #144. Of course I didn’t know the time, but I’m guessing it was about 8:15 pm on Thursday night when I realized that I wanted to lead a walk. I had no idea the amount of time, effort, and sacrifice that it took to put on a weekend but I knew I wanted to be a part of it. As the weekend progressed I was hooked. I felt God’s love and grace flowing through His servants and I couldn’t wait to give to others the same way people were giving to me.
Now, several years later I find myself with the distinct honor of leading Walk #204. The theme for the weekend is Nothing is Impossible, which happens to be the key to the first scripture I ever learned; Mat-thew 17:20. The theme song for the weekend is also “Nothing is Impossible” by the group The Planet-shakers. I mention them because I believe that is what God intends to do again during this walk-- Shake our planet. Guided by an amazing, talented, dynamic and energetic group of servants I believe that God will literally rock the socks off of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Centralia!
I encourage you to sign up God’s pilgrims and fill these weekends! Reach out to those that you may have had discussions with previously or those that are hearing about it for the first time and see if God plans for them to be there this spring. Please pray for all that will be attending this weekend. Whether it is as a team member or a new pilgrim, please pray that God touches all of our lives and shows that with Him, Nothing is Impossible.
God Bless!! Jeff Klein
Lay Director Thoughts — Walk #205
When I received a call from Gary Buma and he said, “You have been selected to be a Lay Director
for 2012” I was quiet, thinking “Oh no, now what”? Gary asked if I had dropped the phone, and I said,
that, no, I just was shocked at what I had just heard. I prayed about it and said, “Yes, I would be honored
to do this for the Lord”. As many of you know, I love to serve and that is my passion. “His Everlasting
Love” came to mind as my theme. God has been there for me through thick and thin and with His grace
and love, and I thought that this theme was perfect for what I feel about God.
The verse I picked is 1Peter 5:7. “Cast all your anxieties on to Him as He cares for you”. That
verse comes with history. When I was in high school (a couple years ago) I was going through some
tough stuff and my boyfriend at that time circled in my Bible 1Peter 5:7 and said, “This will help.”
In 2007, Geoff and I moved to Marysville. He had just started with a new job and we were uncer-
tain how we were going to do financially. We started going to LifePoint in Lake Stevens. During the
first year I was invited to a woman’s retreat. I thought that would be great, I can get to know the women
from LifePoint. During the weekend, we were asked to pick a verse, write it down with our name and
put it on a flower. We then randomly picked a flower. When I read the verse on the flower I picked it
was 1Peter 5:7. God is continually reminding me that He is there for me. That He loves me so much
and I should let Him take care of me. The theme and the verse come together nicely. I am reminded
daily how much He loves us and He is there for us no matter what. I pray that you all feel His grace and
love daily and trust in Him to take care of you. I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to serve in
March. It’s all for the glory of the Lord.

Directions to Walks #205-206 Immanuel Lutheran Church, 1209 N Scheuber Rd, Centralia
An Important Message for Sponsors
Maybe it happens at the cross ceremony? Maybe it happens at Closura? It happens to all of us. You know -
that flood of names you think should also experience this incredible weekend. You have just lived in the grace and
love of Jesus for three days and you desperately want to share. This is a natural response and it allows Walk to
Emmaus to continue its ministry. This is good.
What follows now is the difficult part – choice of a pilgrim. Consider the purpose of Emmaus – “to develop
leaders for the church.” In other words, the weekend is designed to inspire, challenge, and develop servant-
leadership skills for Christian action. While Emmaus is open to every Christian denomination, it is not for
everyone. This is where your “prayerful discernment” is required.
“The aim of a sponsor should not be "to get all my friends to go," to fill up the weekend, to fix
people's problems, or to reproduce one's own religious experience in others. Rather, the aim of
the sponsor is to bring spiritual revitalization to Christians who will, in turn, bring new life and
vision to the work of the church in the congregation, home, workplace, and community. The aim
of sponsorship is to build up the body of Christ.” —Excerpted with permission from The Upper
Room Handbook on Emmaus by Stephen D. Bryant. Copyright © 1989 by The Upper Room.
Not every potential pilgrim is able to receive the benefits of an Emmaus weekend. Inconsistent church
attendance, feelings that God is not important and especially severe life crisis such as divorce, illness or job loss
probably indicate that the time is not right. Pastors on the clergy team do a marvelous job of serving. However,
these three days are not designed to provide an extended counseling session for these extreme emotional, mental or
spiritual needs.
Be certain that your pilgrim has a mature faith that will allow them to go deeper with Christ. Do they seek and
depend on Him daily? Are they involved in regular fellowship and community? Are they an active part of the life
and welfare of the church? Do they attend adult classes, retreats, group activities or outreach? If you can answer
“Yes” to these questions, you can safely assume that this person is good candidate.
Use wisdom, patience and, above all, prayer as you consider sponsorship. Make sure your choice is guided by
God’s leading and not your personal desire. This is an awesome responsibility and a precious gift.
--The Board of Directors of Puget Sound Walk to Emmaus
Feel free to contact us with any questions or comments related to pilgrim selection.
WANTED: PILGRIMS!!!
Dear friends, we come together to serve as the hands and feet of Jesus and the weekends are held for the experience
of the pilgrim. Sponsorship is what keeps our organization growing and alive. I encourage you to spend some
prayer time asking and listening for who God would want you to sponsor on a WTE weekend. It may even be some-
one you don’t know other than through a common faith, which is what we all share in PSWTE. Read the article be-
low for sponsorship guidelines. I challenge you to cause a crisis. Let’s see our weekends be at capacity and have
waiting lists.

Statement of Leadership Commitment
Puget Sound Walk to Emmaus (PSWTE) is an ecumenical community of faith and is guided by God’s
Word. With many denominations represented, PSWTE leaders are called to maintain a healthy
accountability to our sponsoring body and are guided by two essential principles: (1) that every person
is created in the image of God, loved by God, and a person of sacred worth and (2) we affirm God’s
grace is available to all.
Therefore, we commit ourselves to be in ministry for, and with, all persons; serving “as Christ’s hands
and feet.” Each person involved in the leadership of a Walk for PSWTE must (1) have their own belief
in Christ and accepted Him as personal Lord and Savior; (2) be active in their local church; and (3) be
living a life that glorifies God and points others to a personal relationship with Christ.
As such, we must respect the privacy of individuals that may be struggling with issues of the world. We
must maintain the integrity of the ministry and refuse to let it become a platform for those who might
want to use it as a venue for their own personal or denominational views. Every effort must be taken to
ensure that matters will not be brought forward that could become divisive. Christians have differing
views on a number of important issues such as baptism, Holy Communion, birth control, religious ex-
periences, worship practices, and lifestyles. When any person is unable to lay aside their own views on
these, or any other topics that would divide the Emmaus community, it creates a problem that impacts
the integrity of the ministry. Those persons who are so passionate in pursuing their concerns and their
issues that they can not set aside those concerns and issues at any time should excuse themselves from
participation in Emmaus. Anyone who continues to pursue personal agendas will be counseled in grace
and given chances to set them aside when serving PSWTE. If situations continue to occur, individuals
will be asked to step down from serving the PSWTE.
The focus of the Emmaus ministry must remain on Jesus Christ and the essential theology and practices
of the Christian church in support of pilgrims. All leaders on a Walk to Emmaus weekend are asked to
commit to this purpose and to ensure all personal beliefs, theology, and agendas are left out of the week-
end. All clergy are asked to hold to their ordination vows and follow the guidelines of the Walk to Em-
maus ministry. All PSWTE leaders and members (including Board and Committee members, core
team, worship team, clergy, cha chas, speakers and back-ups, palanca, kitchen and love & agape team
chairs) are asked to read and commit to the PSWTE Assurance of Faith (see below or pswte.org web
site) to ensure that the Walk to Emmaus continues to provide an environment of grace, love, prayer, and
acceptance which accurately represents God’s commandments.

I sent an e-mail to those who were listed in the Walk To Emmaus data base as having served on Music Teams. If you didn't get this email, would you drop me an e-note (or other communication) with your specialty (voice, guitar, keyboard, or other instrument) so I can include you on the list?
