Saint Francis is pleased to have a large and active Emmaus Community.  The Emmaus experience begins with a 72 hour spiritual experience designed to help you deepen your walk with Christ.  Pick up a flyer in the Gathering Space or call the church at 362-1666 for more information.

The Walk to Emmaus is a spiritual renewal program to develop Christian disciples and leaders.  The goal is to strengthen the local church by modeling Christ’s servanthood.  Entry into the Emmaus Community begins with a 72 hour retreat, a time of study, reflection, prayer and worship.  Contact Mark Shear at shearm@saintfrancisumc.org for additional information or click on www.rtpnet.org/~emmaus/.
  
"Chrysalis" is the youth version of The Walk to Emmaus.  A chrysalis symbolizes the spiritual growth that is essential between adolescence and adulthood. Chrysalis "Flights" (for 10th through 12th graders) and "Journeys" (for young adults, ages 19-24) are three-day events. This three-day spiritual renewal time provides an opportunity to learn more about faith, to experience Christian love and support, and to make new faith commitments.
