"Were not our hearts burning within us as He talked with us on the road...?"

What is Emmaus?

The next Gathering will be Saturday, September 11th. at 6:00PM for covered dish food and fellowship, and at 6:30PM for Gathering.  We will meet at Bethia United Methodist Church. For directions, click here. 

New location and dates for our Gatherings 

Starting in September our Gatherings will move to the SECOND Saturday of each month.  This solves the issues we have had for years in our Gatherings coinciding with holidays. 

We are also moving to Bethia United Methodist Church, 10700 Winterpock Rd.  For directions click here.
