Walk to Emmaus
What is the Walk to Emmaus?
It is an opportunity to meet Jesus Christ in a new way as he is revealed to you through other believers. This 72-hour experience of Christian spiritual renewal and formation provides three busy days of singing, learning, laughing, praying, worshiping and participating in small groups. Talks on the topic of God's grace are presented by laity and clergy. Each day holds opportunities to partake of Holy Communion and to experience God's grace through the prayers and acts of anonymous service offered by the Emmaus community.
Following the three days, participants are invited to join small groups for the purpose of accountability and encouragement on the continuing spiritual journey; attend monthly gatherings for fellowship and worship; and serve on upcoming Walks as a member of the team.
