The Walk to Emmaus is a spiritual renewal program intended to strengthen the local church through the development of Christian disciples and leaders. 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 usually begins Thursday evening and concludes Sunday evening. Men and women attend separate weekends.

The Llano Estacado Emmaus Community uses Mercy Retreat Center for many of their "Walks".

This non-denominational group offers an exciting life-changing retreat that is open to all.

We, here at Mercy Retreat Center, are honored to be a part of this worthwhile ministry to all of God's people.

We do not take care of registration for these retreats.
