Over the past couple of years, I have noticed that some of our Chrysalis youth have been on an Emmaus Walk as a pilgrim!! Great!! I hope that all of our community knows that Nationals has changed the rules! For years we were told that if a youth participated in a flight as a caterpillar, they could not go on an Emmaus Walk as a pilgrim. I’m thankful the rules have changed. There is a vast difference in a 15 years old’s walk with the Lord and a 24 year old’s walk, isn’t there? While much of the weekends are the same (15 talks, special events, agape, etc.), the experience will strengthen the youth’s or young adult’s growth and leadership abilities!


If you have a person in your own family or your church family who has been on a flight, please consider sponsoring them on an Emmaus Walk. Then stand back and watch their zeal for our Lord be rekindled! All our churches need young adults involved in worship, Sunday School, Bible study, and on our church councils – encourage them! You may be surprised at what God can do through them!


There were two walks last month and there will be two more in the fall, but there will also be a Girls’ Chrysalis Flight after that – November 6-9, 2008. Now is the time to be praying for our youth as we seek the girls that God is leading us to sponsor on a flight. (Ages 15 –18 years). And while you are praying, include our Chrysalis Board as we struggle to find a way to have a boys’ flight in the future.


“So speak encouraging words to one another. Build up hope so you'll all be together in this, no one left out, no one left behind. I know you're already doing this; just keep on doing it.”
1 Thessalonians 5:11 (The Message)

Praise be to God and Fly with Christ,

PS - On behalf of the Chrysalis Board, I would like to thank the Emmaus Community for amending their By-Laws and accepting our Chrysalis Board as a Standing Committee of the Emmaus Board. We have always been part of Emmaus, but this will allow us to function more efficiently in serving to the youth of the Eastern Shore. If you want to know more about how we function, go to the Chrysalis link on the Emmaus’ web page. There you will find our Standard Operating Procedures , which govern what we do.

 Watch the web site for the date of our next Hoot!

FLY WITH CHRIST!
