Discipleship
We are all on a spiritual path. Whether you are curious about God, just coming back to faith, or a believer your entire life, to be a disciple of Jesus means to be continually growing closer to Jesus and each other. Everything we do at EMC is linked to the Disciple’s path.

Pastor’s Wednesday Night Study
Date: April 29-June 17
Study: Epic of Eden: Jonah by Sandra Richter
Time: 6:00-7:00pm
Location: Rooms 106 & 108
Led by: Pastor Dan
Cost: Workbook $17, Scholarships are available
When most people think about the book of Jonah, they think about a children’s story. Others think about a story they—ve heard so many times there could not possibly be anything new to learn from it. Well strap in, because this study is designed to prove all those assumptions wrong!
In the book of Jonah we find a professional holy man, a lifer in the faith who is about to have the God he thinks he understands challenge him with an assignment that he can hardly get his brain around. In The Epic of Eden: Jonah, Dr. Sandra Richter takes us on a journey through Jonah’s life that leads us all to the place where we realize that our God is way bigger than we thought. Not only will we learn everything we ever wanted to know about the brutal Assyrians of Nineveh, ancient seafaring ships, and large aquatic creatures, but we will also be challenged with the same message that confronted Jonah. Are we willing to let God be God, to move us out of our comfort zones, and embrace a calling that might just take us to the edges of the world we know?

Walk to Emmaus
The Walk to Emmaus is a spiritual renewal program intended to strengthen the local church through the development of Christian disciples and leaders.
The experience begins with a 72 hour short course in Christianity, comprised of 15 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 program is wrapped in prayer and meditation, special times of worship, and daily celebrations of Holy Communion.
Following the three day course, Emmaus leaders organize participants into small groups that meet regularly to maintain and expand the Emmaus Community. The members of the small groups challenge and support one another in faithful living. Participants seek to Christianize their environments of family, job and community through the ministry of their congregations.
If you have taken you Walk to Emmaus Journey, it is time to sponsor a Pilgrim! All sponsors and pilgrims need to complete sponsorship forms.
