Bible Study: The Emmaus Walk | Christ & Saint Stephen's Episcopal Church

Monday, August 8, 2022, 5:00 PM

“Were not our hearts burning within us
while he was talking to us on the road,
while he was opening the scriptures to us?”

When the disciples were walking along the road to Emmaus, Jesus himself – as the stranger – opened their eyes and hearts to scripture. The Emmaus Walk is more of a ‘conversation’ about scripture than a ‘bible study,’ in any formal sense. No need to study, compare or contrast translations, or contrast various accounts of the same scene – just bring a willingness to open your heart and mind to hear the voice of Jesus through a conversation with fellow pilgrims.

The worship of God is at the very heart of our life together...

Every Sunday we offer inspiring worship with beautiful sacred music. In all we do, we offer the best we have, we experience the mystery of God, hear and wrestle with God's word, share Christ's presence in the sacrament, and feel God's love in our community, and leave strengthened to live and serve in the world. Please join us for worship, fellowship, outreach and education. You'll receive a warm welcome from all of us at Christ & St. Stephen’s. We look forward to seeing you.

For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you. 1 Chronicles 29:14b

Stewardship is about being grateful, responsible stewards of the gifts we receive from God. The tradition of giving back to God and to the church comes from the Biblical practice of “tithing,” which means to give back a tenth of our earnings to God.

The Episcopal Church sees stewardship as more than simply contributing money to the church; it’s about reaching out to build relationships from a perspective of abundance instead of scarcity.

Stewardship Keeps Our Doors Open!
