WELCOME TO THE LOWCOUNTRY EMMAUS COMMUNITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA!

KEEPING IN TOUCH:

 * We use contact information in the Upper Room's Ministry Manager to get in
   touch with potential team members as we prepare for walks. Newsletters are
   posted on this website each month. A notice is distributed by email through
   MailChimp when a new issue is available.

   here
 * If you are having trouble accessing Ministry Manager or have not been
   receiving the newsletter, please contact the board member in charge of
   records or the newsletter (as listed in the most recent newsletter). In
   particular, if you update your email address, please let the newsletter
   editor know in addition to updating Ministry Manager.


WALKS:

To attend a walk, you will need to have a sponsor who has previously attended.
If you are interested in attending and don't know anyone who might sponsor you,
contact any member of the board (listed in the newsletter), and we will help you
get in touch with someone from your church or your community who can help you.

Sponsors: You can download an application to sponsor a pilgrim on an upcoming
walk.

When we have received a sufficient number of applications, we will schedule our
next set of walks. Walks are generally held in the spring or the fall. We hope
to have enough applications to hold a men's walk September 12-15, 2024, and a
women's walk September 19-22, 2024.

Walks are held at Camp Summers and Manget [map] in Cameron, South Carolina.

Sendoff and Closing are usually held at Jericho United Methodist Church [map]
just east of Cameron. Sendoff is at 6:30 PM on Thursday evening. Closing is at
4:30 PM on Sunday. (Sendoff and closing services are for community members and
current walk participants only.)

Community members are also invited to the candlelight service on Saturday during
the walks at 8:00 PM to pray for all those who are taking part on the weekend.
The candlelight service is usually at Providence United Methodist Church [map]
on US 176 less than two miles west of I-95.

There is no child care at sendoff, closing, or the candlelight service. Please
arrange for someone to care for your children at home when attending these
events.


GATHERINGS:

Gatherings, open to everyone, are normally held monthly on the third Friday
except when this would conflict with Walk schedules or Easter weekend. The
Gathering begins at 6:00 P.M. with refreshments followed at 7:00 P.M. by a time
of worship with singing, a Fourth Day speaker, and Holy Communion.

The Gathering immediately following each set of Walks begins with a meal at 6:00
P.M., followed by worship.
