Ready to explore your faith more intentionally? The Walk to Emmaus is a six-week experience of learning more about Jesus, yourself, and the people in your community. Each week, on Sunday, read the short description of the week along with the suggested scripture. If it’s helpful, write or print out the text to post in a place you often encounter throughout the week. Then, on Monday through Thursday, let the text speak into your daily life in the focused ways suggested through the questions. If other opportunities bring the text to mind, take notice—there’s no telling where Jesus may show up in your day or week! On Friday, take some time to reflect on your experiences and notes from the entire week. If you are doing this with a friend or small group, this would be a great time to connect for conversation; if you do this on your own, a journal works well, too.
This resource includes QR codes to download five spiritual practices that you’ll be introduced to as you make the “walk to Emmaus.” And if this experience ignites your interest in doing more, there are several options included to extend your learning journey.
