Applications are being accepted for the 2010 men's and women's walks. The men's walk will be April 15-18, 2010, and the women's walk will be April 29-May 2, 2010.

Walks are held at Camp Summers and Manget [map] in Cameron, South Carolina.

Sendoff and Closing are held at Jericho United Methodist Church [map] just east of Cameron. Sendoff is at 6:30 PM on Thursday evening. Closing is at 4:30 PM on Sunday. (Sendoff and closing services are for community members and current walk participants only.)

Community members are also invited to the candlelight service on Saturday during the walks at 8:00 PM to pray for all those who are taking part on the weekend. The candlelight service is at Providence United Methodist Church [map] on US 176 less than two miles west of I-95.

There is no child care at sendoff, closing, or the candlelight service. Please arrange for someone to care for your children at home when attending these events.

Gatherings:

Gatherings, open to everyone, are held on the third Friday of each month, except when this would conflict with Walk schedules or when Good Friday falls on a third Friday. The Gathering normally begins at 7:30 P.M. with a time of worship, including singing, a Fourth Day speaker, and Holy Communion. A time for fellowship and refreshments follows. Child care is provided during worship.

The Gathering immediately following each set of Walks begins with a meal at 6:30 P.M., followed by worship.

Upcoming Gathering locations:
