Meet a Group at DaySpring SUNCOAST EMMAUS Suncoast Emmaus has been bringing a men’s and a women’s group to DaySpring two times each year since at least 1999 and recently donated the funds to make it possible to purchase a portable sound system. The Walk to Emmaus is a spiritual renewal program intended to strengthen the local church through the development of Christian disciples and leaders. The program's approach seriously considers the model of Christ's servanthood and encourages Christ's disciples to act in ways appropriate to being "a servant of all."
