Chrysalis CARES Boys Flight #46/Journey #23

When is Chrysalis?

This BOYs Chrysalis experience will be FEBRUARY 15-17, 2020. 

What is Chrysalis?
Chrysalis is the growth stage between the caterpillar and the butterfly.  While on the surface it may look like nothing is happening, the delicate process changes a caterpillar into a butterfly with wings and beautiful colors.  This symbolizes that through dying to self, Christ can transform us into new beings.  Jesus Christ can transform us into something beautiful.  We must open ourselves to Jesus for this transformation to occur.

Chrysalis is the name chosen for this three-day experience because it symbolizes growth in the lives of high school and college aged young adults - the spiritual growth that is necessary between adolescence and adulthood.  It is a crucial time of maturing faith for discipleship.

Chrysalis has its roots deeply planted in its parent movement, the Walk to Emmaus.  Chrysalis is a three-day spiritual renewal retreat that provides participants an opportunity to learn more about the faith, to experience Christian love and support, and a chance to make new commitments in their faith journey.  The content of the three days focuses on God's grace, how one experiences Christ as a friend, and how one is called into discipleship, giving love to a hurting world.
What should I expect on a Chrysalis weekend?
You will enjoy three days of singing, learning, laughing, worshiping, reflecting, praying and participating in small groups.  Discussions center around fifteen talks given by youth and adult laity, as well as clergy.  These talks present the theme of God’s grace, how that grace comes alive in the Christian community, and how it is expressed in the world.  You’ll also discover how grace is real in your life, how you live a life of grace, and how you bring that grace to others. 

You will have the opportunity to participate in the celebration of Holy Communion and to understand more fully the body of Christ.  You will experience God’s grace through the prayers and acts of anonymous service offered by the Chrysalis community.  You will leave with an experience of Christian love in action that will equip you for new levels of grace-filled service and leadership.


There will be a $25 nonrefundable deposit when registering for a Chrysalis weekend.
