Keeping in touch (IMS):

Newsletters are distributed by email through our IMS system. We also use contact information in IMS to get in touch with potential team members as we prepare for walks.

If you are having trouble accessing IMS or have not been receiving the newsletter, please contact the board member in charge of records or the newsletter (as listed in the most recent newsletter).

Walks:

To attend a walk, you will need to have a sponsor who has previously attended. If you are interested in attending and don't know anyone who might sponsor you, contact any member of the board (listed in the newsletter), and we will help you get in touch with someone from your church or your community who can help you.

Sponsors: You can download an application to sponsor a pilgrim on an upcoming walk.

Our next walk weekends are the Men's Walk October 18-21, 2018, and the Women's Walk October 25-28, 2018.

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 monthly on the third Friday except when this would conflict with Walk schedules or Easter weekend. The Gathering begins at 6:00 P.M. with refreshments followed at 7:00 P.M. by a time of worship with singing, a Fourth Day speaker, and Holy Communion. Child care is provided during worship.

The Gathering immediately following each set of Walks begins with a meal at 6:00 P.M., followed by worship.
