Pilgrim Info

We are excited that you have chosen to attend a Closer Walk at beautiful Camp Butman. Many prayers are being said for you and many people are working to make this a memorable weekend for you.

Please be aware that while a Closer Walk is similar to a Walk to Emmaus, Mesquite Country Christian Community is an independent non-profit organization not affiliated with the Upper Room, and the event you will be attending with us is NOT a Walk to Emmaus.

Your sponsor should keep you informed as you prepare for this weekend. Free your calendar from Thursday afternoon at 4:00 PM through Sunday at 7:00 PM.

You will need to bring the following items:

  • Comfortable clothing – no dress up clothes!

  • Comfortable shoes

  • Personal toiletry items

  • Towels and wash cloths

  • Bedding : Twin sheets, pillow, blanket

  • “egg crate” or mattress pad is suggested, if you have one

  • Light jacket

This weekend is designed to give you time to totally focus on your walk with God. To avoid distractions, we ask that you leave your cell phone at home, with your sponsor, or put away in your room for the weekend. Should any need arise for your family to contact you, please have them contact your sponsor, who will then contact someone on the team. We also ask that you do not bring cameras or take any pictures once the Walk has started, so that everyone’s privacy is respected. We will have an official photographer that will take a few pictures at the appropriate times.

You only need to bring comfortable clothing (no dress up clothes needed!) and comfortable shoes. You will need to bring your personal toilet articles and towels and wash clothes, twin sheets, pillow and maybe a blanket.

Please check the date and be sure that you can attend without any conflicts. If you are unable to attend, please contact me at registrar@mesquitecountry.org (preferred method) or 325 515-4035 (leave message). We need to know as soon as possible to notify the next person on the waiting list.

If you have any questions or concerns at all, please contact our Registrar, Brenda Hammond, at registrar@mesquitecountry.org, or at 940 372-3210.

We are looking forward to seeing you and welcoming you to Mesquite Country Christian Community!
