Warm wonderful food.

The Journey Matters Opening Ourselves To An Emmaus Encounter

September 6-8, 2013 presented by Cackie Upchurch

Sometimes we’re so focused on the destination that we miss the very human moments of the journey itself, those moments that open us up to a deepening encounter with the God who is our companion. We’ll use the Emmaus story (Luke 24:13-35) as our framework for the weekend. Through Scripture reflection and teaching, personal quiet time, and in sharing with others, we will be reminded of the almost-too-good-to-be-true grace that God gives us for the journey. Cost of this retreat is $175.00 ($120.00 for commuters) with a non-refundable $50.00 deposit due at the time of registration. This includes two nights’ lodging and five meals. Commuter rate includes meals.
