We Were Meant to Be Courageous! Bring the family and invite your friends to Trinity’s free movie night Saturday, February 25. This month’s Movie with a Message features the latest film from the creators of Fireproof - Courageous. Four men, one calling: To serve and protect. As law enforcement officers, they are confident and focused, standing up to the worst the streets can offer. Yet at the end of the day, they face a challenge they’re ill prepared to tackle: fatherhood. When tragedy strikes home, these men are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their faith, and their fathering. Protecting the streets is second nature to these law enforcement officers. Raising their children in a God-honoring way? That takes courage. Come see this free screening of this powerful film Saturday, February 25 at 6:30 p.m. on the big screens in the sanctuary. Discussion and refreshments to follow.  Details...

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 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.
 
During and after the three days, Emmaus leaders encourage participants to meet regularly in small groups. 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. The three-day Emmaus experience and follow-up groups strengthen and renew Christian people as disciples of Jesus Christ and as active members of the body of Christ in mission to the world.
 
 

Where Does Emmaus Come From?

The name Emmaus is taken from the story in Luke's gospel concerning two disciples of Jesus and the stranger they met on their way to the village of Emmaus. The disciples were weary and disheartened. Their world was in ruins, their dreams shattered.
 
The one on whom they had pinned all their hopes had been cruelly crucified. They shared their disillusionment with the stranger while they walked along the road. As they did so, their hearts were lightened and hope re-kindled. Later, when they were at supper they recognized the stranger as Jesus.
