The walk to Emmaus is an experience of Christian spiritual renewal and formation that begins with a three-day short course in Christianity. It is an opportunity to meet Jesus Christ in a new way as God’s grace and love is revealed to you through other believers.
The Walk to Emmaus experience begins with the prayerful discernment and invitation from a sponsor. After one accepts this invitation they complete an application. The Emmaus leaders prayerfully consider each applicant and in God’s time, the person is invited to attend a three-day experience of New Testament Christianity as a lifestyle.
Following the three-day experience, participants are joined in small groups to support each other in their ongoing walk with Christ.
Women’s Walk
November 14 - 17
Registration is open now!
For more information about the Walk to Emmaus, please feel free to browse the Upper Room’s Website or Contact Them for more information.

ABOUT IHN, FOUND HOUSE INTERFAITH HOUSING NETWORK
ABOUT HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
Inspired by the national Habitat for Humanity movement, a group of local Christians founded the grassroots organization in Cincinnati in 1986. The early Cincinnati Habitat was entirely volunteer run with large involvement from our church and others. Today, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati is the largest nonprofit homebuilder in the region. Together with homebuyer families, donors like us, and volunteers they have built over 680 high-quality modest homes and completed over 140 critical home repairs for low-income homeowners in our community!
A world where everyone has a decent place to live.
ABOUT IPM FOOD PANTRY
Reaching Further. Feeding More.
Community has been a core value of IPM since its foundation. In 1964, Armstrong Chapel and three local churches joined together to help families living in impoverished conditions along the Little Miami River near Newtown, Ohio. The group realized that they could help more people by working together, so they formed a non-profit organization called Inter Parish Ministry (IPM) with the goal of helping neighbors during difficult times.
IPM Food Pantry feeds families in need and brings community members together to enhance lives throughout the Cincinnati area. IPM continues to transform the definition of a traditional food pantry. We meet people where they are and treat each family with dignity, helping the entire community thrive.
As decades moved forward, we continue to help IPM expand its ability to impact more of the Cincinnati community!

A Prayer Shawl and Creative Ministry
We hope you will gather for our regular monthly meeting on Tuesday mornings, from 10:30-12:30 in the Armstrong Room to enjoy the fellowship that comes from making a small difference in the lives of those who might benefit from a handmade item on their journey to wholeness. We will be working on prayer shawls, lap blankets, stuffed animals, etc. You do not need to know how to knit, crochet, or sew to participate. There will be many options to help such as creating tags, bagging, and sorting. The fellowship will be as important as the mission work and we hope you will come and be a part of something special! Bring a friend!
