The Walk To Emmaus

"..... two of Jesus' followers were walking to the village Emmaus, seven miles out of Jerusalem.  As they walked along they were talking of Jesus' death, when suddenly Jesus himself came along and joined them and began walking beside them.  But they didn't recognize him, for God kept them from it.
       ..... As they sat down to eat, he asked God's blessing on the food and then took a small loaf of bread and broke it and was passing it over to them, when suddenly-their eyes were opened-they recognized him! ....."
           Luke 24:13-16 and 24:30-31 (The Living Bible)

Covering a geographic area of roughly a 100 mile radius from the Nacogdoches/Lufkin region, the East Texas Emmaus Community is a locally governed affiliate of "The Walk to Emmaus" as administered by The Upper Room ministry unit of the General Board of Discipleship of The United Methodist Church. However, the Walk experience is ecumenical in nature and welcomes church members of all Christian denominations. The ETEC plans and hosts six walks (3 women's, 3 men's) per year, also a girls and a boy's Chrysalis for high school age youth.  We invite you to follow the links on this page to learn more about the Walk To Emmaus.
