Coastal Bend
Emmaus Community (CBEC) sponsors many men's and women's
Walks a year, as well as several Chrysalis Flights for youth and
young adults.
The
Walk to Emmaus
is an ecumenical movement under the direction of The Upper Room,
with a purpose of developing lay leadership
for the local church.
Walk and Flight weekends are held at
the Queen of Peace Retreat Center, located at 1200 Lantana Road,
Corpus Christi. (map)
If you have been on
a Walk or Flight, or similar weekend, in another part of the
country and are moving to or visiting the Coastal Bend area, we
would love to have you visit or become a part of the Coastal
Bend Emmaus Community.
 Is Your Spiritual Life in Need of a Boost?
If your spiritual life is in need of a boost, then
the Walk to Emmaus may be just the answer. The Walk is a seventy-two
hour experience of singing, worshiping, praying and participating in
small groups where you will experience the love and grace of God
through acts of service and prayer offered by a vital and loving
support community.
 The objective of Emmaus is to inspire, challenge
and equip local church members for Christian action in their homes,
churches and places of work. My walk experience in 1991 has played,
and continues to play, a significant role in my spiritual formation.
If you (1) wish to strengthen your spiritual life; (2) and/or have
unanswered questions about your faith; (3) understand that being a
Christian involves responsibility; and (4) and want to learn how to
better dedicate your life to God, then the Walk to Emmaus experience
is for you.
Walks are
sponsored by the Coastal Bend Emmaus Community, the largest Emmaus
community in the world, and are held locally. If you are interested in, need an application for, or have any
questions about the Walk, please see me or call me anytime at
779-2844, or 884.0391x329, or 884-8202x329, or email me at
sfieldcamp@ccfumc.com.
Grace and peace,
Steve Fieldcamp
Associate Pastor,

The Emmaus movement does not exist primarily for the weekend Walks.
Its purposes are to
deepen the faith of individuals, to
increase the
faith of congregations, and to
bring Christianity to the world.
