The Walk to Emmaus is a 72 hour experience of Christian spiritual renewal and development.
The weekend is led by a large team of both ordained and lay people from many different denominations. A selection of talks over the three days, each given by a different person, describe different aspects of God’s grace and what it means to live a Christian life. The talks are firmly rooted in the bible and illustrated by real life experiences of the speakers which give rise to often lively discussion afterwards.
You will enjoy three days of singing, learning, laughing, worshiping, reflecting, praying and participating in small groups. Discussions center around the talks given by laity and clergy. These talks present the theme of God’s grace, how that grace comes alive in the Christian community and how it is expressed in the world. You’ll also discover how grace is real in your life, how you live a life of grace, and how you bring that grace to others.
You will have the opportunity to participate in the daily celebration of Holy Communion and to understand more fully the body of Christ. You will experience God’s grace through the prayers and acts of anonymous service offered by the Emmaus community. You will leave with an experience of Christian love in action that will equip you for new levels of grace-filled service and leadership.
