Grace & Peace Mountain Top Walk to Emmaus Board and Community,

This is an open and standing invitation: If any Board member has anything to post into this website, just email the announcement, list, report, information, request, commentary, letter, update, meditation, etc... to me at mtntopemmaus@email.com and indicate that you want it to be posted in the website. This offer has been made to every Mountain Top Emmaus Board of Director since the website went online in 1998. I welcome the opportunity to post Board updates to the website. I emphasize "Board updates" because Board members rather than myself are the best source of their committee's needs and community activities and, therefore, this website's updates. Or appoint a Board member to be responsible to email desired postings to me.

The Rev. Steve Holcomb, Mountain Top Emmaus #1 and webservant,
Priest-in-Charge and Pastor, Grace Mountainside Lutheran & Episcopal Church, Robbinsville, NC

Here is the PowerPoint we have been using at the Follow-ups.
This one is 26 slides versus the original 42 slides.
It still gets the point across and does not take long to present.
