What is the Walk to Emmaus?

The walk to Emmaus is an experience of Christian spiritual renewal and formation that begins with a three-day short course in Christianity. It is an opportunity to meet Jesus Christ in a new way as God’s grace and love is revealed to you through other believers.

To the Hearts of the Faithful

Greetings to the members of Greater Findlay Area Emmaus Community. Fall is upon us and this starts a very busy time in the Emmaus Community. As I am writing the October Women’s Walk #108 is happening. We have 19 pilgrims who are experiencing the love of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit, just like we did on our Emmaus Walk. Emmaus has since its beginning forever changed people’s lives and given them new heart for loving and serving our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Men’s Walk # 81 will be November 8-10th. Scott Iams it he Lay Director and he has the team set and having team meetings to prepare for the walk. Please prayerfully consider sponsoring a pilgrim. The dead line for applications is October 31st, pilgrim and sponsorship applications can be found on the website at findlayemmaus.org.

As you all know it takes up to 200 people volunteering their time to put on an Emmaus Walk. It takes people for the team, prayer vigil, agape, kitchen, and logistics etc. Please consider volunteering a few hours of your time during the weekend. Many hands make light work and the fellowship that happens at Emmaus is second to none and is very rewarding. There is one position on Men’s Walks that we have a hard time filling and that is a music man. This positon has a skill set that not everyone possesses. We only have two men’s Walks a year March and November. If you are a man and have the ability to lead worship on the walk. The Board would truly be grateful if you would let us know.

November is also the time for new officers to be elected to the Board. The positions open this year are Vice Chair (must be a past LD), Secretary, Literature, Sponsorship, Assistant Kitchen, Supplies and Logistics. It is vital to the health of the Greater Findlay Area Emmaus Community to have a strong and committed Board to serve the Community. Please pray and see where God would have you serve. If you are interested a position please contact the present board member, who has that position (their contact info is on the website). They will more than happy to tell what is involved with their positon. Remember the purpose of Emmaus is to make Disciples and build the Church for Jesus Christ. Hope to see you at the Gatherings it is where relationships are renewed and built and keeps the community going.
