What Happens After Emmaus?
One of the primary strengths of Emmaus is the
follow-up. Your weekend lasts only three days, but you are
invited to build on it for the rest of your life. Those who
attend a "Walk to Emmaus" are encourage to do two things
following their weekend:
1. Expand their own spiritual lives through study and
congregational participation.
2. Become more active disciples of Christ in the world through
their churches.To nurture this process of discipleship, the
Emmaus movement offers specific opportunities. First, reunion
groups of four to six people meet weekly to reflect on their
quest for spiritual growth and encourage one another in their
discipleship. Second, there will be monthly meeting called
"Community Gatherings". All people in a particular Emmaus
community or area are invited for fellowship, worship, and
information instruction. Third, through a newsletter, the
Community is made aware of support needs for upcoming Walks to
Emmaus and of opportunities to work in a variety of ways during
future weekends. |
