I just looked at a map - for me to walk to Emmaus would be one long walk!nicki25 said:Anyone ever been on a Walk to Emmaus???
raebates said:I have been on a Walk. I've also sponsored someone. It's an amazing experience designed to help you develop a deeper walk with Christ. The Walk to Emmaus is connected with the Methodist church. My son went on a something similar through another denomination.

I just set traps when I can't count on the cats to catch Emmaus.
mamidu said:Wow! Such a small town to be mentioned here, or anywhere for that matter. I live about 15 minutes from Emmaus. My Dr. and Vet are both in Emmaus. I was unaware of the walk.
nicki25 said:It is a similar to a christian retreat. It takes place all over the US. Mostly in Methodist churches but anyone is welcome to attend. You don't actually walk anywhere. That is just what it is called.
Yeah, I found out you don't know how to pronounce Lancaster, either.lkprescott said:See and that's the trouble with outta towners... *shakes head*
It's pronounced Ee-may-is
DH tried calling it E-mos or E-mouse and got quickly assimilated with that and many other pronunciations around here... *giggle*

The_Kitchen_Guy said:We know the feeling here...like when we watch a broadcast of Badger football game. When the Badgers went to the Rose Bowl in 1994, for the first time in 31 years, Bob Griese continued to call the team the WESconsin BAD-grrs. To this day, most sportscasters pronounce the name of the state Wesconsin, like there was an Easconsin, Northconsin or Southconsin.
Ah, but the visual gag of Mick Emmaus and catching Emmaus was just toooooo tempting to pass.
lkprescott said:I know how to say it, I'm a born and raised PAer... 10th generation.. at least... it's outta towners who don't say it right... like fingernails on a chalkboard. LOL..
The_Kitchen_Guy said:Like Nevada, Iowa? (Nah-VAY-dah.)
Pennsylvania has so many fun places, like Indiana. (We don't need to read about Intercourse again, either.)
Indiana, Pennsylvania is the hometown of James Stewart, but it is also home to Indiana University of Pennsylvania. A friend of mine teaches there, and it's always fun to quote a professor from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, because people who have never heard of it wrinkle up their faces like they just bit into a lemmon.
