Before it becomes a butterfly, a caterpillar goes through a growth stage during
which it is called a "chrysalis." On the surface it may not look like much is
happening, but the delicate chrysalis process changes the fuzzy caterpillar
into an awesome butterfly with wings of intricate designs and intense colors.
"Chrysalis" is the name
chosen for the youth and young adult version of The Walk to Emmaus, its parent
movement, because it symbolizes the spiritual growth that is essential between
adolescence and adulthood. That growth is as crucial for youth as the cocoon is
for the caterpillar. It is that precious time of nurturing a person's faith for
discipleship.
Chrysalis
"Flights" (for 10th through 12th graders) and "Journeys" (for young adults,
ages 19-24) are three-day events. This three-day spiritual renewal time
provides an opportunity for youth to learn more about faith, to experience
Christian love and support, and to make new faith commitments. The point is to
inspire, challenge and equip youth for a closer friendship with Christ and for
Christian action at home, church, school, and community.
Please pray about
someone in your circle of influence whom you could sponsor for a Chrysalis
experience.
