Youth Group's Walk to Emmaus on November 11 through 13 at St. Michael's Episcopal Church in Naugatuck. Fee: $45

What is an Emmaus weekend?  --- An Emmaus weekend offers high school students a short course in the Christian way of life. Those who come to an Emmaus weekend experience Christian community, and a time of reflection and insight into their own lives. There is uplifting music, a chance to meet and get to know new friends, opportunity to know oneself, others and God on a deeper level, and to share the joyful and loving relationship that is central to the Christian experience.

Who can be a candidate? --- Generally, anyone enrolled in the 9th through 12th grade on the date of the weekend can be a candidate. Candidates are sponsored by a member of an Emmaus, Chrysalis, Tres Dias or similar community. The sponsor supports the candidate before, during and after the weekend, offering encouragement and taking care of any special needs.

How many people are there on a weekend? – A group of about 40-55 people serve on an Emmaus team. About two-thirds of the team are teens and the rest are adults. There are usually 15-20 candidates.

What happens on a weekend? --- There are talks about Christian faith followed by small group discussions. Talks and small group leadership are shared by both adults and teen team members. The weekend, which runs from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon, is held in a retreat setting. However, there is no fasting and very little solitude. There is discussion, fellowship, good food and much fun.
