- Chrysalis is a 3-day "Basic Christianity" course
designed to foster leadership and spiritual growth in youth. There
are two types of Chrysalis weekends, and an adult "Emmaus Walk" weekend.
- Chrysalis Flight for
High School young adults, ages 15-18
- Chrysalis Journey
for College-Age young adults, ages 18-24
- Most often, flights and journeys may be
combined into one weekend.
- Walk
to Emmaus for adults, ages 21 and over
- Each participant is assigned to a "Table," a small
group of 4-6 participants ("Caterpillars") and team members (a Youth
Table Leader and an Adult Table Leader) that work together throughout
the entire weekend
- There are 15 Talks over the Chrysalis weekend - 5 by
Clergy, 5 by Adult Team Members, and 5 by Youth Team
Members. These talks are:
- Ideals, God Designed You, Faith, God Loves You, The Prodigal
- Communication through Prayer, Christian Growth through Study,
God's Gift to You,
Christian Marriage, God Sustains You
- Christian Action, Single Life, God Empowers You, The Priesthood
of All Believers, Next Steps
- After each talk, the tables have a group
discussion about the topic of the talk.
- At the end of each day, each table presents a
creative summary (poster, song, skit, etc.) of what they talked
about and learned at their table that day.
- And of course, there's lots of music,
food, games, downtime, worship, daily
communion, more food...
