Consolidated Emmaus Gathering
De Colores!
There will be a combined Gathering on February 21, starting at 5:00pm. This consolidated Gathering will bring all-three zones (North, Central, and South) together for a fun-filled evening at Calvary UMC, Waldorf.
A Potluck dinner will start at 5:00pm, followed by a Gathering at 6:00pm. Childcare will be provided. Bring someone with you. Let's make it the best attended Gathering we've ever had. It's a great opportunity to see people you haven't see in a while. In fact, you are probably just the person someone else has been longing to see.

Chrysalis News Update
Good Morning Southern Maryland Community!
I hope that everyone is having a good year and that God is working through all of you. I have some big news from Chryslais in Southern Maryland. We met last night at our monthly committee meeting and discussed about the upcoming flights/weekends. After some praying we as the committee have decided to postpone the March weekends until a later date.
Our goal is for the fall and it cannot be done without you! We need agape for those future caterpillars/pilgrims and lots and lots of prayer! Also if you feel a youth from 15 to 23 (or 10th grade through college) is ready to see how amazing God's love is send in an application to us! I am so excited for the weekends!
If you cannot send any supplies to support the weekend, make any agape, or sponsor a caterpillar please just pray your socks off for the future flights! If you have any questions, I mean any questions about Chrysalis please email me at alan.hemming@gmail.com or Ken Horne at thekidfrog@comcast.net
Also don't forget that there is a HOOT (gathering) on Feburary 7th at Trinity UM in Prince Fredrick. All are invited and it is a blast for young and old alike. The HOOT starts at 7 pm so be there!
Applications for caterpillars should be attached but if they are not just send me an email and I will get it to you as soon as I can. God Bless and hope to see you at a gathering (or maybe a hOOT too!).

Update on Tim Reed Medical Condition
News update from Dave Meixner (via Dan Brennan):
Hi folks,
An update on Tim Reed's situation, as of Thursday night. Tim and Jeffrey are both done with the surgery, which ran into the early evening. Nicole (Jeffrey's wife) spoke with both surgeons and all went very, very smoothly. She thanks all for their prayers. I have assured her that they are ongoing. Tim was then moved into intensive care (routine for this surgery) and Jeffrey should be moved onto a regular floor soon. Leslie (Tim's wife) says that everyone should be home in a week.

Church Sermons and Web Technologies
I'd like to let everyone within the Southern Maryland Emmaus community know about a wonderful website. It is called SERMON CLOUD and this site is rich in sermons given by all denominations. The site can be found at www.sermoncloud.com/. SERMON CLOUD allows you to post audio, video, and text versions of your sermons.
We recently started to record our sermons at La Plata UMC and needed a host to keep the sermons (both text and audio) on a FREE server. The SERMON CLOUD site provided that, and I have found it relatively simple to use.
If anyone has a question about this website, or any other technological (how to) questions about your church websites, please let me know.
By recording your sermons, you can save them as a .wav formatted file, which can then be placed onto a CD and mailed out to those homebound members of your congregations. This can really improve the quality of their lives.
I've been able to build website for virtually no costs, and it takes no funds to maintain them. A sample of the La Plata website is provided so you can see how the audio sermon can add to your web presence. Visit the site at www.laplataumc.com.
