Join us for the Spring "Walk to Emmaus" Spiritual Retreat
Men's Walk April 8th-11th, 2010
Women's Walk April 15th-18th, 2010
The Walk to Emmaus offers participants an opportunity to rediscover Christ's presence in their lives, to gain fresh understanding of God's transforming grace, and to form friendships that foster faith and support spiritual maturity. The "Walk to Emmaus" gets its name from Luke 24:13-35, where Luke tells the story of the first Easter afternoon where the risen Christ appeared to two disciples who were walking along the road from Jerusalem to Emmaus. The Walk to Emmaus retreat is an inspiring long weekend with God, fellow Christians, and great food! While the Walk to Emmaus weekend provides a pathway to God's love, it also supports a participants' return to share the love they have received.
Hurricane Relief Mission Trip to Slidell, Louisiana June 7 - 12, 2010 Cost: $100
This trip is open to individuals 13 years and older who want to make a difference rebuilding the lives of families still suffering from the effects of four hurricanes in the past four years. All skill levels are welcome! An extra incentive is we will get to see and work with our very own missionary, Susan Arnold!
Also, we need someone to cook for our group. So if herbs and spices are more up your alley instead of hammers and paint, we have the perfect job for you! For more information please contact Jeanne Chapman (jchapman@zumc.org). Space is limited.
