Walk to Emmaus Reunion Sheet

(Note: I used to be in a Walk to Emmaus Reunion group, but it slowly fell apart. I always liked the Reunion Group Sheet and will try to post it once a week and answer the questions.)

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful and kindle in them the fire of Your love. Send forth Your Holy Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.

O, God, Who by the light of the Holy Spirit did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and every enjoy Your consolations. Through Christ our Lord, Amen.

Review your service sheet - Christ needs you. He needs you committed in faith, so that you may witness that faith in Christ with your brothers and sisters through:
Your Spiritual Life - Morning Devotion, Prayer Life, Worship Attendance, Communion, Spiritual Retreat
Your Study - Reading Holy Scriptures, Daily Spiritual Guides, Religious publications, Denominational newspapers, Religious magazines, Bible studies, Church school classes, Religious Seminars
Your Action - What have you done during this week so Christ will be better known and loved in your: Family, vocation, community, small group, Christian community

Closest to Christ - At what moment this past week did you feel closest to Christ?
My quiet time this week has been really good. I am enjoying my bible reading and journalling is helping me feel closer to Christ.

Call to Discipleship - At what moment during this week did you feel you were responding to God's call to be His disciple? Where did you participate in being the Church this week, the heart beat of Christ?
I went to a friend's dad's funeral yesterday.
Discipleship Denied - When was your faith tested this week through failure?
I have felt very irritable this week. I particular remember Wednesday. I was actually glad to go to the grocery store Wednesday to get away from Sugar Pop and Honey for a while. I noticed my attitude when I was leaving the house, and made an effort to be nicer when I came home.
Your old plan - How faithful were you to fulfilling your plan this week?
Since I didn't do this last week, I didn't have a plan for this week.
Your new plan - What is your plan for spirituality, study, and action for the week to come?
Spirituality ~ Morning Quiet Time, Worship tomorrow morning.
Study ~ Continue bible reading and devotional reading. Need to prepare for next week's small group (first one after the holiday break).
Action ~ This afternoon we have a Kairos team meeting, tomorrow we will work the "Small Group Rally" at church.
Prayer of Thanksgiving:

Almighty God, who lives and reigns forever,
we give You thanks for all the gifts
You have bestowed upon us. Amen.
