2. Journey to the Table
Journey to the Table is a new offering from the tradition of Walk to Emmaus and Chrysalis specifically designed for ministry with young adults, ages
It is available to churches, campus ministries, Annual Conferences, Walk to Emmaus or Chrysalis Communities, and other organizations interested in offering a spiritually formative experience for young adults.
A short promotional video is available here.

3. How Did We Get Here
The first 5 leaders of the steering team developed six themes for Journey to the Table:
Relationship
Growth in a transitory time of life
Seeing God in daily life
Tools for the journey
Technology and spiritual life
“If you don’t see a space – make a space!”
After that, 19 steering team members developed the first version of manuals for Journey to the Table.

4. What’s in Journey to the Table?
To accommodate schedules of college students or young professionals, the program is shorter than Emmaus or Chrysalis. It includes 24 hours of instructional and worship time.
The schedule is divided into seven schedule blocks. These blocks can be delivered in order, in any combination that works best for each location.
For example: a community that wants to run a retreat weekend-style schedule, could start at 6:00pm Friday evening, and conclude by 4:00pm Sunday afternoon (not counting team preparation time beforehand).
A church could schedule two half-days on weekends (2:30pm – 9:00pm), with three evenings in between (6:30pm – 9:30pm) if staying overnight is inconvenient.
…or any other combination of the seven schedule blocks that works best!

5. The Talks
The talks spend less time in a lecture mode and include different activities to make the learning more experiential and relational at the tables.
Identity, Parts 1 & 2
Balancing Life
Studying and Growth
Relationship With God and Others
A Love that Strengthens
Priesthood of All Believers
Christian Action
Perseverance and Commitment
Make a Space

6. How Can You Get Started?
Gather a small team of people who may be able to help plan for a spiritually formative event with young adults.
3 to 6 people is ideal. This group could include:
At least one young adult
At least one person who leads a ministry or group with young adults
Others who many be interested in partnering with you
