Welcome to Central Illinois Emmaus Community Welcome to the Central Illinois Emmaus web page. February 5, 2025 Central Illinois Emmaus Family, After extensive prayer and discussion, and based on the feedback we have received, your Board has voted to begin the process of shutting down the community. One of our options in discontinuing is to become a dormant community. This allows for a future possibility of rebirth and revitalization. The Central Illinois Emmaus Community kicked off with Men’s Walk #1 on December 8, 1982. Over the last 42 years, 295 weekends have been hosted, more than 5,000 lives have been poured into, leaders have been empowered, and relationships have been built. This is an amazing legacy! The work of the Holy Spirit is not done, it is just in different areas of ministry. I pray that you each go where you are being called using your gifts. “Christ is counting on you.” There are other Emmaus communities that you can serve in if you feel led. I have listed them below with contact information and encourage you to reach out. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Our email address will remain active and monitored during this process, as will our Private Facebook Group. Every member of the board wishes to express the honor it has been for them to serve you and our community at large. We are praying for every person Central Illinois Emmaus has touched over the last 42 years. One immediate change we will be implementing is our mailing address. Pat Wright, our Treasurer, will be having all mail forwarded from the PO Box to her address for the next several months. If you wish to communicate via post, her address is: Central Illinois Emmaus c/o Pat Wright 3617 Edinborough Ct Springfield, IL 62704-5570 “Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity.
