We are going for a Walk
INVITE A FRIEND!
The September/October walk weekends are closer than you might think! Servant teams are forming nicely and we are preparing to pour out an abundant measure of agape love on the friends you invite. We call them PILGRIMS. First-timers on this Emmaus road. A traveler on a holy journey. The walk is for the pilgrims.
When I say, invite a friend; I am using the term ‘friend’ loosely. You don't have to know the people you invite all that well. Maybe your Pastor can introduce you to them? Maybe you run into them at a Christian event and the Holy Spirit stirs your heart to ask/invite. Many of you, like me, have invited all your friends. But the harvest is plentiful. Be on the lookout for the MANY friends of God!
Who do you see that is hungry for more of Jesus? Where are the young believers that might benefit deeply from a time set apart to really ponder the biblical tenets of Christianity, their personal relationship with Christ and His call on their life?
Ask God to open your eyes; “Show me your friends.”
and invite them to enjoy this pilgrim’s walk!
New this walk: MEN and WOMEN are welcome to serve on BOTH weekends are not required to stay overnight. Serve as you are able! Contact Steve or Karen to volunteer.
(Conference room participants & pilgrims remain on site and are same-sex cloistered)

The objective of Walk to Emmaus is to inspire, challenge, and equip local church members for Christian action in their homes, churches, communities, and places of work. Emmaus lifts up a way for our grace filled lives to be lived and shared with others.
The Walk to Emmaus experience begins with the prayerful discernment and invitation from a sponsor. After one accepts this invitation they complete an application. The Emmaus leaders prayerfully consider each applicant and in God’s time, the person is invited to attend a three-day experience of New Testament Christianity as a lifestyle.
"And behold, on that very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, which was [a]sixty stadia from Jerusalem. And they were talking with each other about all these things which had taken place. While they were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself approached and began traveling with them." Luke 24:13-15
