Emmaus Walk
What is "The Emmaus Walk"?
The Emmaus Walk is a 72 hour-experience with the
objective of inspire renew, challenge and equip local church members for
Christian action in their homes, churches and places of work.
The weekend begins on Thursday evening at 7:00pm
and ends Sunday afternoon. At Emmaus you will spend three busy but very
enjoyable days, at a retreat center: Casa Salesiano de
Retiro in Aibonito. You will live and study in
singing, prayer, worship and discussion.
Discussions center around fifteen talks given by
laity and clergy. These talks presents the theme of God's grace, and how
that grace comes alive in the Christian community and express itself in the
world. You will have the opportunity to participate in the daily
celebration of Holy Communion, and to begin to understand more fully the
presence of Christ in his body of believers. You will experience God's
grace personally through the prayers and acts of service of a living support
community.
The Emmaus movement is ecumenical and was adapted
in 1978 from the Roman Catholic Cursillo by The Upper Room of the General
Board of Discipleship of the United Methodist Church in Nashville, TN
