LEXINGTON WALK TO EMMAUS
REQUEST FOR RESERVATION
Dear Sponsor:
As you know, the Walk to Emmaus is a three-day experience of renewal, learning and sharing in an atmosphere of Christian community. It is a different experience for each individual. It is not designed for the solution of deep-seated personal problems, but to help mature persons work toward a Christian way of life with community support. Husbands and wives are invited as a couple and should make a joint commitment to attend. Husbands usually attend first. If you have not discussed the Emmaus weekend with both spouses, the Board may ask that you wait to send one spouse until you have had the opportunity to encourage both spouses to attend. No spouse will be restricted from attending the Walk because their spouse will not commit to attend but an earnest effort must be made to offer the Emmaus experience to both spouses. Each person must submit a separate application, and married couples are requested to turn in both applications at the same time even if they will be attending a separate set of walks. Please complete ALL sections!
All information is necessary for proper placement in a Walk to Emmaus. Please be sure you and your pilgrim fill in all the blanks. The cost of the Walk to Emmaus weekend is $200.00 per person. We require a $50.00 registration deposit (nonrefundable), which should be sent in with the completed application. The remaining amount will be collected at the Registrar’s table upon arrival at the weekend site. Please make checks payable to LEXINGTON EMMAUS COMMUNITY. A limited number of partial scholarships are available. If your pilgrim would like to be considered for a scholarship, please include an "Application for Scholarship" with the application. All scholarship applications must be received by the Registrar with the corresponding walk application.
This form is an application and its submittal does not guarantee acceptance. Your pilgrim may be placed on a waiting list since there are a limited number of spaces available on each weekend. Early applicants will be notified of acceptance by letter six weeks prior to the Walk to Emmaus weekend. Later applications will be processed as quickly as possible. Registrations received less than one month before any Walk will not be processed until the following set of Walks.
Sponsoring a candidate is both a joy and a responsibility. There are things you must do for your candidate before, during and after the weekend. Remember, the Walk to Emmaus is not structured to solve deep-seated personal problems. It is designed to provide those attending a personal encounter with Jesus Christ. If you have any further questions about sponsorship or registration procedures for the Lexington Community please contact the Registrar or any Board member.
This signed and dated cover page must be returned with the completed registration form and deposit. Your signature indicates you have read the above requirements and are committed to responsible sponsorship of your pilgrim.
