Walk to Emmaus UK
Walk to Emmaus! Are you looking for
Adventure, excitement and the opportunity to serve on an Emmaus Team? You are,
that’s good because then this is for you! We are looking for people
willing to serve on Team for a Men’s Walk 4-7th September 2012 and
a Women’s Walk 11-14th September 2012, still interested then read
on- The Walks are planned to
take place in Ukraine, and I promise you they will be filled with adventure,
excitement and the opportunity to serve. Did I mention travel, there’s travel
too, I went last year 2011, two flights and a very long car ride gets you to
the Campsite which is outside of Kiev, its all of those things and more, I say
this because the ability to speak Ukrainian or Russian would be an advantage
but not essential. It’s the same as being on a
Walk here in that you will be expected to pay your own way, but if you go I
promise you will not be disappointed. Want more details then call Peter
Richardson, Walk to Emmaus & Chrysalis European Regional Leader, 01594 839408,
or email
peterthecolours15@talktalk.net or
peterthecolours15@hotmail.co.uk Sergey and the others from
the local Team really, really need your help! De Colores! Peter
Walk to Emmaus Information Flyer
The Walk to Emmaus relates the text in The Gospel of Luke, of the Risen Christ appearing to two who were walking along the road from Jerusalem to Emmaus
(Luke 24 : 13-35) see on the road.
This text provides the image for Emmaus, a program of the Upper Room Division of the Board of Discipleship of the United Methodist Church.
The Walk to Emmaus calls for and renews Christian Disciples within an ecumenical setting.
This event is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Although it is usually held at a retreat centre, Emmaus is not a "retreat" in which one spends hours in silence, meditation, reading and relaxation.
It involves three concentrated and very enjoyable days. Discussions are centre on fifteen presentations led by laity and clergy around the theme of God's grace, and how that grace comes alive in the Christian community and expresses itself in the world.
