Calling all middle and high school students! Emmaus Youth will have our first hangout of the Summer on Sunday, June 29, immediately following the gathering. We will have pizza at the church and then go bowling together - please bring $10 to cover costs.
Twice a year, we take a Sabbath Sunday to stop and rest. We desire to be a community that is intentional about gathering but also intentional about resting, especially giving our team of volunteers the chance to take a break. Rather than gathering together in person on July 6, we will take time as a community to practice our rhythm of rest and spend time delighting in the Lord.
Dinner of Eights is a great way to get around the table with different folks in our community and has become one of our favorite Summer events! Groups of eight(ish) people are formed at random to have a meal together on the second Friday of every month. You can host a dinner at your house or just attend - it is potluck style so make your best dish and get to know some new people!
All of our house churches will be joining together for a night of Summer fun on Wednesday, July 16! Join us in the backyard of the church for dinner at 6:30 followed by a family-friendly outdoor movie night. Don't forget to bring a lawn chair or blanket.
Whether you are already committed to a house church, or you have just started coming to Emmaus and want to get connected to one - we would love for you to join us!

At Emmaus we desire to continue seeking the tangible presence of God and have set aside a monthly Friday night prayer space called The Waiting Room. It is in this space and set-aside time that we expect God to speak, and wait in anticipation for him to. Throughout history, it has been a remnant of praying people who sow seeds of renewal and awakening. Come, wait. Come, Holy Spirit. It will open at 6:30 pm.

Starting on Sunday, May 18, we will be hosting a 6 week Emotionally Healthy Relationships course based on the work of Pete & Geri Scazzero. In this course, you will learn 8 practical relationship skills to develop mature, loving relationships with others and deepen your discipleship. It will be on Sundays from 1:00 - 2:30pm (we will skip the week of Father's Day). The workbook will be required, but if you need financial assistance in purchasing please see Pastor Josh or Pastor Jhinika.
This Sunday we will be having a baby dedication. This is a chance to commit, as a community, to raise up these little ones in the way of Jesus. We hope you will join us as we seek to embody the DNA of Family.
On Saturday, May 17th, we will be having our 2nd annual Rolling Roads Park Day. This park is the center of the Rolling Roads neighborhood and we hope to take the day, not just to enjoy it, but to also beautify it and serve the greater neighborhood. We will have teams picking up trash in the park, laying mulch, and blessing neighbors by offering to mow before gathering back together for a hot dog lunch. We will meet at the church at 9:30am to pray over our time, go over details, and then walk down to the park together.
Renew is our quarterly night of prayer and worship, where we come together as a community to seek the presence of the Lord. Plan to join us on Monday, May 12 from 6:30 until 8:00 pm. Childcare is provided and house churches will not meet that week in hopes that we can all make space to join together on Monday night.
On Sunday, April 20th, we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ! Easter Sunday provides a special moment for us to come together as a community and praise God for the gift of new life. As part of our Easter celebration this year, we will also have the unique opportunity to rejoice with a number of new believers as they are baptized. Join us at 9am for our traditional Love Feast before our 10am service.
For the Love Feast, we are asking everyone to bring a sweet bread or some sort of breakfast item to share with our community. We can't wait to celebrate together!
Plan to join us on Friday, April 18th at 6:30pm as we observe Good Friday as a community. Space will be given for prayer and introspection, as we reflect upon what Jesus endured on our behalf. Perhaps most of all, this will be a time to remember that the brightness of the empty tomb was made possible by the bleakness of the cross.
We are excited to celebrate Easter Sunday with baptisms this year! Baptism is a presence-filled Sacrament and means of grace that has been given to us by Jesus. It is an embodied way of denouncing your old way of life and being raised to a new life in Christ and his family. In some ways, it marks the conscious beginning of your discipleship to Jesus.
On Sunday, April 6, we will host a catechism class for those preparing to be baptized - let us know if you are interested!
The Emmaus Men will be tackling some projects around our church property on Saturday, April 5 and can use your help! The work will start around 8am and last through the morning.

The Lenten season begins on Wednesday, March 5th. As a way to move into this season of repentance, fasting, and reflection, we encourage you to stop by the church between 7 - 8am for the Imposition of Ashes before beginning your day.
The men of Emmaus will be gathering for lunch on Sunday, March 2, right after the gathering, for a time of fellowship and intentional discipleship conversation. We would love for you to join!
To conclude our series on The Four Loves at the end of the month, we will be having a panel discussion on Friday, February 28th at 6:00pm on the topic of relationships, singleness, marriage, and intimacy. Plan to join us, no matter what season of life you are in.
We are hosting, in partnership with SevenHomes, a Parent's Night Out for Triad foster families on Saturday, February 22 from 4:30 - 8:00 pm. This will be an opportunity for foster parents to take the night for themselves to enjoy and rest.
