 A
Gathering is a regular meeting of all Christians in a given
area who have been on a Walk to Emmaus, Chrysalis, Cursillo,
or other similar weekend. The Dayspring Emmaus Gatherings
are hosted by and held at various churches in the Dayspring
area. Gatherings are held the FOURTH Saturday every other month
at 6:30 p.m. except the months in which Walks are held.
(The fourth Saturday is not necessarily the last Saturday of
the month, so be careful.) There is a change from this regular
fourth Saturday schedule for the months of November and December
because of the holidays. The combination November/December
Gathering is held on the FIRST SATURDAY IN DECEMBER. When
Walks are held, a Pio Party/Gathering is held the next
Friday
evening after the Women's Walk. The Pio Party/Gathering
is held at Tattnall Campground.
 Dayspring
Emmaus Gatherings are covered dish dinners, so bring your
dish to share and a hearty appetite. (That is, unless it
is a Pio Party and you are a pilgrim just coming off a Walk
and we're feeding you -- one last time.) Other things you
need to bring are your name badge and your Purple Pilgrims
Guide, and you may wear your cross at Gatherings. After
dinner and fellowship over the meal, the group usually goes
to the sanctuary of the church where there is singing, announcements,
a short spiritual message, prayer, a Fourth Day speaker,
and communion. Child care is provided and the cost paid
out of the offering collected. Guests are welcome to attend
Gatherings even if they have not been on a Walk. Guests
are also welcome at the Pio Parties.
Click on "Gathering Locations" on the sidebar to your right
to see Gathering locations for the year.
In addition, directions to each church can be found on the
Dayspring area map.
If
your church would like to host a gathering, please let the
Gathering Coordinator on the Board of Directors know. Please
also refer to the information on this web page for Host
Churches. If you would be interested in giving a Fourth
Day talk, the Gathering Coordinator again is the person
to contact. There is also information on this web page to
give one some indication of how to prepare a Fourth Day
talk. Contact information for the Gathering Coordinator
