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.
