Christ Walk: A unique Lenten resource

A unique Lenten resource is the Christ Walk program created by Anna Courie, a former member of Emmanuel, Hampton. Anna created the program and used it during Lent at Emmanuel. The program integrates exercise (walking) with scripture and meditation. Anna calculated the distances between various sites in the Holy Land (Jerusalem to Bethlehem, Jerusalem to Damascus, etc.) and used these distances as goals for individuals (or teams) to walk during Lent. Anna's book, Christ Walk: A 40 Day Spiritual Fitness Program, has just been made available on Amazon. You can contact Anna at christwalk@courie.com to learn more and ask questions about the program. You can also follow Christ Walk on Facebook. "Christ Walk is a really good program for those who would like to do something more than just embark on a spiritual discipline for Lent as it integrates spirituality with physical exercise," says Boyd Duncan, a member of Emmanuel, Hampton who has participated in the program.
