If you would like to continue or start to receive your Rooster Tales via snail mail, please send your check made out to AZ Walk to Emmaus and mail in care of Janet Paterson, 2545 S Peonie Circle, Mesa, AZ 85209. If you act quickly, there will be no lapse in cover-age and you will continue to know what’s happen-ing in your Emmaus Community! ~Janet Paterson, Rooster Tales Editor

Pray for God’s guidance regarding who you should invite to

attend the Tucson Walks to Emmaus. February 18-21 for men and
