Welcome to the Lexington Emmaus Community and the Community Homepage. I hope the information presented throughout this site is helpful.

My name is Marty Wright and I am the Community Lay Director for 2007. I attended Walk #28 in Lexington and sat at the table of Ruth. It is a great honor to serve our Lord and this community with the other members of the Lexington Emmaus Board of Directors. Our Board is a “working” Board where each of us chairs separate areas of responsibility to make sure the community functions within the guidelines of the covenant we sign with the International Emmaus Organization. We are also here to serve you and assist you in becoming a vital and active part of the Lexington Community. I invite you to the Board page of this website which has contact information for this year’s Board. If you need additional information that the web site does not provide, please do not hesitate to contact any member of the Board of Directors.

While we, and the entire Emmaus movement, want you to be active in your home churches we also encourage and covet your prayers, presence, gifts and service in Emmaus to make this Community a mighty tool for the strengthening of Christian leaders. We want to help all our brothers and sisters to grow in their personal walk with the Lord as well. Our Community Shepard can help you start a Reunion Group or assist you into finding one that is already meeting. I invite you to get involved. Please join us for Gatherings each month and all community activities during Walk weekends.

The two disciples on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24) asked each other, “Did not our hearts burn brightly within us…” So, I ask you, “Is your heart still burning since you broke bread with Jesus on your Emmaus Walk?” Remember, an ember removed from the fire will not burn very long and when all the embers are scattered the fire will eventually go out.
