"A reunion group is a great way to
keep the candle burning after you come down off the
mountain."
Reunion
Groups are a very important part of the
Emmaus &
Chrysalis
experience. They provide a natural launching pad
for mission in the community. Reunion groups are
also a support base for acts of agape for
Emmaus and
Chrysalis weekends. Shared engagement in service to
others deepens friendships and opens up avenues for
Christian action.
The Walk to Emmaus is a spiritual
renewal program intended to strengthen the local church
through the development of Christian disciples and
leaders. The program's approach seriously considers the
model of Christ's servanthood and encourages Christ's
disciples to act in ways appropriate to being "a servant
of all."
The members of the small groups
challenge and support one another in faithful living.
Participants seek to Christianize their family, job, and
community environments through the ministry of their
congregations. The three-day Emmaus experience and
follow-up groups strengthen and renew Christian people
as disciples of Jesus Christ and as active members of
the body of Christ in mission to the world.
