NOVA Emmaus - Sponsorship Focus
Sponsorship through Neighboring Communities
In order to build-up our community and to work toward our first Walks, our focus over the next year will be to partner with neighboring communities by sponsoring our pilgrims through their walks. The steering committee is in the process of coordinating with these communities. More information will be provided at upcoming gatherings.
All community members are encouraged to begin praying that God will lay on your hearts specific individuals and weekends to begin sponsoring this fall. Below are specific Men's & Women's walk dates for local communities. Please mark your calendars.
Men's Walks | Women's Walks |
| Sep 17-20 (West VA) | Oct 15-18 (West VA) |
| Sept 24-27 (Richmond) | Oct 29-Nov 1 (Richmond) |
| Oct 22-25 (Fredricksburg) | Nov 12-15 (Loudon Valley) |
| Nov 5-8 (Loudon Valley) | Nov 18-22 (Fredricksburg) |
Sponsoring Pilgrims - Good sponsorship is one of the most important aspects of the Walk to Emmuas. To follow up on what we learned at our Community Training, we'll focus on sponsorship at our September Gathering. Please be in prayer for those in your congregation whom God would have you sponsor for the upcoming NOVA Emmaus walks. The pilgrim and sponsor applications are posted on the Weekends/Sponsorship page.

Agape-Making & Community Meal - Prior to each Gathering we will have agape-making and a community meal together. This will give us an opportunity for deeper fellowship with each other and to begin supporting area communities by sharing gifts of God's love (agape).
Music Team Announcement - All Musicians, are welcome to practice together and learn new songs from 5:15pm - 6:00pm before the Gatherings. Paul Salbert will be leading the group of singers/ players.
