Schedule

Transfer these to your personal calendar NOW, so you don’t forget.

There is a MAP link after each location. Or, you can click here for DIRECTIONS to most churches or walk/flight sites, etc.

Keystone Emmaus Walk dates, Gathering dates and places, Chrysalis Flights and Rush (meaning Re-Uniting Servant Hearts – formerly Hoot) and information:

Come to any Gathering/RUSH (Hoot) to celebrate, worship and praise God through singing, hearing an inspirational speaker, participating in a small group, praying together, and participating in Holy Communion.   Bring a snack to share.  All this in one evening. . .what a deal. 

When there is an Emmaus Walk or Chrysalis Flight, there is no Gathering that month.  However, we encourage you to attend the Thursday night Send-off (approx. 7:00 PM), and the Saturday evening Candlelight Service (8:00 PM) and Closing Ceremony on Sunday (4:00 PM) during the walk/flight.

2020:

Gathering Dates:

For the safety of our community, the Keystone Emmaus Community Board of Directors has decided to cancel the upcoming Walks, gatherings,  and all Emmaus activities that are conducted under the direction of the Keystone Emmaus Community Board of directors.  Re-union groups and other activities related to Keystone Emmaus, but not organized and conducted by the board are asked to follow the recommendations of Upper Room Ministries, the Center for Disease Control, as well as all respective governmental entities (Federal, State, & Municipal). 

Recommendations for small re-union groups that decide to gather:

Ø Contact the facility to ensure that holding a re-union group meeting is welcome.   Be aware that many churches are closing for a period of time during this health crisis.

Ø  Be aware of and follow all applicable recommendations from governmental agencies.

The Keystone Emmaus Community Board of Directors will be reviewing alternative dates for the cancelled Walks and will re-assess the Covid-19 situation to determine the viability of re-activating future Emmaus events.  The web site will be the primary point of communication and the board recommends that folks subscribe to receive notifications from the website to receive updated information.

By all means let us pray and remain in contact with one another via phone and other social media.  God’s church, His community of the faithful, is the hope of the world.  Let us participate in conveying that hope to all we can to let folks know that we are not alone, that God is with us, and God will see us through this time of trial.
