What is the Walk To Emmaus?
The Walk To Emmaus is an ecumenical movement sponsored by the Upper Room under the National Board of Discipleship of the United Methodist Church. The 72-hour Emmaus weekend has been described as a short course in Christianity. It enlivens people to the reality of Christ’s love and presence in a way that leads the individual to greater action in witness for Christ. It is designed to make Christ known in the world and equip the participants with the tools and resources they need to keep the freshness and enthusiasm received on the weekend.
The principal event of the Emmaus movement is a three-day weekend spiritual life experience designed to immerse the participants, called pilgrims, in the love of God and bring fresh awareness of the essential teachings of our Christian faith. Great care is taken to ensure the message given is of moderate theology. Weekends are followed up with regular reunion groups at the persons church. Reunion groups provide accountability and also encourage on-going growth in Christ.
At Payson UMC we have three reunion groups. Check with the office for meeting locations.
Women: Wednesdays, 1:30 - 3:00p.m.
Men: Wednesdays, 1:00 - 2:00p.m.
Women: Fridays, 11:00 - 12:00p.m.
