The Walk to Emmaus

A Journey of Faith, a Journey for a Lifetime!

                     “It changed my life.”

                                 “The Walk to Emmaus gave me time to pause and re-evaluate my priorities, what’s important to me.”

"I was getting burned out doing church-work, but I came home energized and on fire with a new attitude about doing the work of the church.”

                                           “I always thought I was a Christian, but now I know I am!”

       “I had three very special days getting to know Jesus in a new and different way.”

These are all things that have been said by individuals who have gone on a “Walk to Emmaus.” Are you surprised or is this what you’d expected? This 72-hour event is designed to strengthen the local church by making the participant a more faithful disciple and active member in their own church.

The Walk to Emmaus experience begins with a 72-hour short course in Christianity, comprised of fifteen talks by lay and clergy on the themes of God's grace, Christian discipleship, and what it means to be the church, the body of Christ. The 3-day experience is wrapped in prayer and meditation, special times of worship and daily celebration of Holy Communion. The Emmaus Walk typically begins on Thursday evening and concludes Sunday evening with men and women attending separate weekends.

If you’re interested in getting involved with Emmaus, you must have a sponsor who has already attended Emmaus him- or herself. There are lots of folks in our church who would love to sponsor you! Or if you just want more information, ask someone who’s been on a “Walk” to share their experience with you. Please ask Kellie Sanford or Susan Crowell for a list of names of those who have already attended the Walk to Emmaus.
