A Welcoming Worship Community

" That same day two of Jesus' followers were walking to the village of Emmaus,

seven miles fill from Jerusalem. As they walked along, they were talking about everything that had happened. As they talked and discussed these things, Jesus himself suddenly came and began walking with them. But God kept them from recognizing him..."

 - Luke 24:13-35

  • Why can't we stay at Well Springs for closing?

    Well Springs has a strict rule about allowing their employees to have time with their families on Sunday afternoon and requires us to be cleaned up and OFF campus NO later than 2:00 p.m. HP Board decided the best way to accomplish this without too much disruption was to bus the pilgrims to North Shore UMC during the lunch break.

  • Why can't we change to another facility that allows us to stay through closing?

    Cost, WS has a VERY minimal charge which is why we are able to charge less for the weekend.

  • What is the Walk cost ?

    The cost of the Walk is $180. Please don't let the cost deter you from attending. You can consider reaching out to your local community, sponsors, or your church for potential assistance.
