The measure of greatness in the Kingdom of God differs vastly from that of the world. Our society idolizes the rich, the powerful, the beautiful, and the athletic. The world claims it is demeaning to serve others. However God's kingdom completely rejects the worlds measure for esteem, giving the greater honor to the one who serves most. The person who serves selflessly, lovingly, without complaint, and without seeking recognition is highly regarded in the kingdom of God.

This is what the Servant Teams are about. We all know that the Walk to Emmaus could not be performed without the dedicated anonymous service of both the On-Site Servant Team and the Outside Servant Team.

These teams are lead by a former Lay Director and are made up of persons both new and experienced in the Community. Most persons serving on a Servant team would be those who are interested in participating on an inside team at some time in the future. This is one of the designated avenues of "Progressive Servanthood" that is the ideal of the model for the Walk to Emmaus. Servant Teams are the beginning of Team service that  includes progressively, Assistant Table Leader, Table Leader, Assistant Lay Director and Lay Director.

Currently, Servant Teams are being established for Denton Walks #3 and #4. If you   are interested in serving on one of these teams, please call me at 972-625-2845 or e-mail me at shines57@att.net.
