The Newman Emmaus Group meets every Thursday, 7 pm via Zoom.  All are welcome. Please contact Elizabeth to join the meeting.

We reflect on the lectionary readings for the upcoming Sunday..  We may consider all or just a few of the readings - Old Testament, Psalm, Epistle, and Gospel.  We ponder and share thoughtfully how the Scriptures speak to us and affect our faith journeys and the events of our lives.

We are not just a Bible Study Group, although at times we consult commentaries and background readings. We are not just a prayer group, but we begin and end with prayer and reflect in a prayerful atmosphere. Faith sharing in community based on the Scriptures might be the most adequate description of what we do.

We rotate the leader/facilitator role, and each person brings his or her own emphasis and tone to the group.  It is not necessary to lead if one prefers not to, and the leader is free to adopt any style she or he chooses.  All that is really needed are the readings and each other and the Holy Spirit.

Attendance is strictly drop-in.  Come when you can.  Many find an increased appreciation for the liturgy of the Word in our Sunday celebrations.  We follow the Church in her seasons, feasts and fasts and Ordinary time.

Our name is derived from Luke 24:13-35, the encounter of the risen Jesus with two disciples on the road to Emmaus when he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures and their hearts burned within them.  They invited Jesus to stay with them, and he was made known to them in the breaking of the bread.  At times we catch a glimpse of this experience in our group.

Come Join our Emmaus Community!
