What is 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 program's approach seriously considers the model of Christ's servanthood and encourages Christ's disciples to act in ways appropriate to being "a servant of all."

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. The "Emmaus community," made up of those who have attended an Emmaus weekend, support the 72-hour experience with a prayer vigil, by preparing and serving meals, and other acts of love and self-giving. The Emmaus Walk typically begins Thursday evening and concludes Sunday evening. Men and women attend separate weekends.

Top End Emmaus Community

The Top End Emmaus Community is based in Darwin in the Northern Territory of Australia. It meets monthly for Gatherings and aims to hold both a Men's and Women's Walk to Emmaus weekend each year.

Men's Walk #21 was held on the 8th April 2010 at Kormilda College in Berrimah.  What a blessing this was with 21 pilgrims walking with God that weekend.  Many thanks to Errol and the Team for their efforts.  Thanks too to the Top End Community for the work that went into preparing for and running the Walk. 

There was a great turn out for the April Gathering.  Please note that the May Gathering is coming up on the 21st May at 7:30pm .
