The first 250 participants to sign up by January 11, 2012 will receive a pedometer mailed to your church.
If you participated last year, you can use the same username and password, but you will need to re-register for this year's challenge (registration does not carry over from year to year). If you signed up for the Walk to Jerusalem challenge prior to Nov. 30, you will need to sign up again due to technical difficulties on the website.
Each congregation is invited to collectively participate within their districts in the Walk to Jerusalem. As a community of faith, each church and member is challenged to look beyond self, beyond the local church walls and to draw together collectively with their district to “walk” the 6,759 miles from the bishop’s office in Wichita to Jerusalem. Individually, this could take a lifetime. Collectively as a body, it can be done in a few short months.
This is a pilgrimage anyone of any age can participate in, and the collective movement is not restricted to walking. Run, swim, bike, canoe, use a manual wheelchair or dance to earn miles. The goal is to get moving, to do something you already do and take it up a notch or to do something completely new.
Attention Humana Health Insurance Participants: For Humana participants (laity and clergy alike) some added healthy options are available. For example, sign up to be assigned a Health Coach as part of a free benefit and/or a Health Education Specialist. Learn about benefits to your health and wellness.
