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.
