Based in the idea that we are a pilgrim people, Emmaus, the way of faith, is a means of welcoming people into Christian faith and the life of the church. Three groups (over 30 adults) enrolled on our first Emmaus nurture course which ran fortnightly until May 2000. Based on the success of this course, it is likely that further courses will be run.
