What a Day

DID YOU KNOW that on Saturday October 22nd NINETY SEVEN volunteers shared their time and talents with Emmaus in a variety of ways? We met folks from Serve Day St. Louis (an annual day of service coordinated through members of Calvary Church in St. Peters), Church of Latter Day Saints, Rubin Brown, and Restore St. Charles. It was a beautiful day and great turnout for the fall festival, haunted house, community homes sprucing up, and a gazebo project. A special thank you to Facilities for all their extra work and to Chris Adams for effectively coordinating SO MANY volunteers!! Carriage rides at the Fall Festival.

Dee Dee F. enjoyed the ride!

Put On Your Dancin' Shoes

The HALLOWEEN DANCE is this Saturday evening at 6:30 in STEPS. Wear a costume! A volunteer group of young professionals called "Gen X" will be joining us.

Hayride and Bonfire

This is one of those times, in my opinion, when the pictures just can't capture what a special time we had. There is something about a campfire on a cool autumn night that brings us closer together and lifts the spirit. Or maybe it's a marshmellow buzz?!!

Shelley S., Sharon V., and Millie L. cook hotdogs campout-style.

A special "thank you" to our volunteer, Larry, who stayed late to make sure the fire was properly extinguished.
