Coming Events:

The Emmaus Experience III will be taking place at Mt. Saviour on Oct. 8,9,10,11, 2004.  The Gathered Community will explore together, through presentations, group discussion, community prayer and table fellowship, the Transfiguration scripture as written in Luke 9: 28-43. Participants will seek to understand the meaning of this Scripture today and ways in which they can live out the challenge of this Gospel together.
