Note From Spiritual Director

From Steve Wickert
Greetings and Blessings from your 2025 Birmingham Emmaus Community Spiritual Director.

This year our community was saddened by the death of our longtime member and Community Spiritual Director, Walter Cash. As the Assistant Community Spiritual Director it then fell to me to step into the role of Community Spiritual Director. It was a position I did not feel ready for because Walter was mentoring me to get me ready to lead next year. But, that mentoring came to an end on Friday April 4th when Walter passed away.

Walter has left some big shoes to fill. I pray daily for God to show me the way to lead this community forward. I cannot do it on my own that is for sure. I need God’s guidance and His grace and mercy as I step into this role.

We have Women’s Walk 105 scheduled for October 9-12 later this year. I encourage all community members to pray for that walk. I encourage all community members to pray for God to show them who He has ready to go on that walk. Get those conversations started now and get those applications in sooner rather than later.

Your 2025 board of directors is also working to put together a men’s Forth Day Gathering in August. Men we need you. We need you on fire for God and for the mission of this community.

May God continue to bless this community as He has for the past 104 walks.

De Colores,
Steve Wickert
