Wow! It cannot be November already! The season of extra busyness is almost upon us, and the Christmas season is creeping into everyday life. In some places it has alread arrived in full force. But before celebrating the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ, let’s not forget Thanksgiving and try to be mindful of all the things that God has so graciously given us. I pray that we, as the body of Christ, can remember to give thanks to God daily as the Levites did as they watched over the Tabernacle and Temple:
“And each morning and evening they stood before the LORD to sing songs of thanks and praise to Him.” 1 Chronicles 23:30
On November 3rd, Blue Sky on 98th Street will be donating a portion of all sales from the entire day, when you mention Emmaus/Chrysalis. You can dine in or take out, so when the family gets hungry, bring them out and grab some burgers.
The 4th Annual Chrysalis Fund Raiser is Saturday, December 6th. Tickets are on sale now and available from any board member. Price is $20 for adults and $10 for children. We will have a BBQ dinner with all the fixins and it will be held at At’l Do Farms Corn Maize near Shallowater. So if when you’re done with that early shopping, come on out and enjoy a great time of food & fellowship. Please get with anyone on the board for tickets and more information.
We hold these fundraisers so that young men and women can benefit from a Chrysalis weekend. Everything that is made from these events goes directly into our scholarship fund to help these young people with a life changing experience.
Please remember to keep Ashley Yates in your prayers as she gets ready to lead the Young Women’s Journey January 8-11, 2015. She has put together an amazing team and I’m sure they would appreciate prayers for upcoming meetings as well as the caterpillars God has called to be on this Journey.
Again, if you have any questions about anything Chrysalis, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me or any other board member and we will get you answers. I wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving and hope the time you spend with family and friends is blessed beyond measure!
Fly with Christ!

When I was first approached about becoming the Chrysalis Community Lay Director, I was pretty hesitant. For those of you who know me, I’m a much happier person hanging out behind the scenes, doing whatever I can to help. And for that reason, I put off letting Jared know one way or the other. It wasn’t until I heard a sermon one Sunday. The gist of that sermon was, “You have faith. Great! That’s awesome! Now what are you going to do with it?” That’s when I called Jared and let him know I would attempt to take over. So with that in mind, I want to thank Jared & Hope for the amazing job they have done this past year! I am sure I will be relying on all their expertise to help along this transition.
