Hello, my name is Bob Coppings, I went on North Central New York Men’s Walk #32 and sat at the table of Mark.  I am serving this year as the Spiritual Director of the Lexington Emmaus Community.  Emmaus has meant much to me, both on my original walk and serving on teams for Men’s and Women’s Walks and two Chrysalis’ Flights.  The scripture in Luke 24 about the original Walk to Emmaus says, “were not our hearts burning within us as He walked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us.”  I have experienced that.   

The Walk to Emmaus is a weekend full of the grace of God, and the love of God’s people.  Hearts are touched, hearts are changed, great joy is experienced and the love of God is felt.  Fellowship, laughter, and good food don’t hurt the weekend either.   

On behalf of the Lexington Emmaus Community I extend an invitation to anyone reading this to let someone you know who has been on a walk sponsor you on an upcoming walk.  If you have already been on a walk, I extend an invitation to you to come and be a part of what God is doing in the hearts and lives of His people, in and around the Lexington area.   

Personally, I have greatly benefited from my involvement, first in the Bowling Green Kentucky Emmaus Community, and now the Lexington Community.  Having been a pastor for 32 years, I greatly appreciate one of the major purposes of Emmaus, and that is to empower and equip people to return and serve with greater zeal in their local churches.   

The Walk to Emmaus has been used of God greatly.  Information about all the joyful and life changing ways Emmaus can be a part of God’s working in your life are on this website.  Please listen to the Holy Spirit as He speaks to you about how your life may be enriched by the Lexington Emmaus Community.  

De Colores,

Bob Coppings
