WHEN: Our next Face to Face Encounter is being held at River Club Church on April 8, 10, 15 and 17 from 10am to 4:30pm. If you would like to sign up – please mail in this registration form. If you have any questions, please use the contact us page.
What is a Face to Face Encounter: An adaptation of The Walk to Emmaus, Face to Face is specifically crafted to meet the needs and life stages of older adults. The program seeks to invite men and women, ages 60 and older, to experience Jesus through a number of sessions covering subjects such as discipleship, mission, grief, and end-of-life issues.
Led by clergy and lay leaders, Face to Face strengthens and renews followers of Christ and bolsters the spiritual life of individuals, families, and congregations. Face to Face is open to members of any Christian denomination who want to strengthen their spiritual lives, discover answers to their questions about faith, and are open to understanding the responsibility of living a Christian lifestyle.
Face to Face allows participants the opportunity to rediscover Christ’s presence in their life, gain fresh understanding of God’s transforming grace, and to form friendships that foster faith and support spiritual maturity.
If you desire a deeper, more meaningful walk with the risen Christ; if you would like that relationship to be reflected in every other relationship in your life; if you wish to make a deeper impact on the world around you by living a life centered on Jesus Christ; please join us as we encounter the risen Christ … Face to Face.
