Women's Emmaus Retreat
Emmaus is a move of the Spirit, not a movement. Women's Emmaus is a life changing experience. It is an experience where women gather to be ministered to by other women. It is for women who wish to experience God, renew and deepen their relationship with the Lord.

The purpose of Emmaus is to build parish community. Emmaus is not separate from the parish, it is part of the parish ministry. Emmaus has an ongoing Discipleship Program that keeps everyone connected. This time gives everyone the opportunity to come together as people of faith and love and continue ministering to each other.

The most important ingredient for Emmaus is prayer. Prayer in thanksgiving for the gift of Emmaus as a ministry in a parish. In thanksgiving for the goodness and commitment of each woman/man who lovingly has make Emmaus their ministry. God alone allows Emmaus to be a ministry of a parish. And it is prayer that sustains the ministry.

Our Mission

• to inspire women and men to begin or renew their personal relationship with Jesus Christ;
• to build a sisterhood and brotherhood and community among the Parish by women ministering to women and men ministering to men;
• to use our love for the Lord and each other to serve the Church of the Resurrection and the Lakeland community.
