The Walk to Emmaus is a spiritual renewal program intended to strengthen the local church through the development of Christian disciples and leaders. The Walk to Emmaus experience begins with a 72-hour short course in Christianity comprised of fifteen talks by lay and clergy on the themes of God's grace, disciplines of Christian discipleship, and what it means to be the church. The course is wrapped in prayer and meditation, special times of worship, and daily celebration of Holy Communion.
More than 30 members of Commerce FUMC have been on the Walk to Emmaus weekend.

CHRYSALIS -- The Youth Walk to Emmaus
CHRYSALIS is the growth stage between caterpillars and butterflies. While on the surface it may look like nothing is happening, the delicate process changes a caterpillar into a butterfly with wings and beautiful colors. This symbolizes that through dying to self, Christ can transform us into new beings. Jesus Christ can transform us into something beautiful. We must open ourselves to Jesus for this transformation to occur.
CHRYSALIS is the name chosen for the Youth Walk to Emmaus because it symbolizes faith growth in the lives of youth - the spiritual growth that is necessary between adolescence and adulthood. It is a crucial time of maturing faith for discipleship.
