WELCOME TO THE CHRYSALIS HOME PAGE
	ABOUT Chrysalis Chrysalis is a spiritual renewal program intended to strengthen the local church youth through the development of Christian disciples and leaders. The program's approach seriously considers the model of Christ's servanthood and encourages Christ's disciples to act in ways appropriate to being "a servant of all." HISTORY Chrysalis is an adapted from The Walk to Emmaus which is an adaptation of the Roman Catholic Cursillo Movement, which originated in Spain in 1949. Cursillo de Cristianidad means "little course in Christianity." STRUCTURE AND ORGANIZATION Chrysalis is grounded theologically and institutionally in The Upper Room ministry unit of the General Board of Discipleship of The United Methodist Church. HOW TO ATTEND To get involved in Chrysalis, each person must have a spiritual sponsor who has already attended Chrysalis or Emmaus him- or herself. If you have a friend who has been Chrysalis or Emmaus, ask your friend to tell you about his or her experience with the program. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM A WEEKEND Chrysalis offers today's disciples a parallel opportunity to rediscover Christ's presence in their lives, to gain fresh understanding of God's transforming grace, and to form friendships that foster faith and support spiritual maturity. While Chrysalis provides a pathway to the mountaintop of God's love, it also supports Caterpillars' return to the world in the power of the Spirit to share the love they have received with a hurtful and hurting world.   PRAYER THOUGHTS: “A prayer to be a good sheep” Read John 10 vs 26-29 Lord, we give thanks to you that we are your sheep. We pray that we learn to listen to your voice more clearly, that you will know us more intimately and that we will follow you more obediently. We give thanks for the eternal life that you give us and for the safety that you offer, as you say “no one can snatch them out of my hand”. You are God our Father and our good Shepherd. We do not need to be afraid!     Chrysalis News  New forms for 2012 now available!
