Another busy month for chrysalis coming up!!! We have a girls journey Sept 4th-7th, and the guys the following weekend Sept 11th-15th!! We still have spots open and scholarships available so prayerfully consider blessing a young person in your life by sponsoring them on one of these weekends! I know that both Patty Davenport and David Hunt have an amazing team ready to serve these young people. As always please keep the teams and the pilgrims in your prayers!

In other news we have a new community lay director for chrysalis stepping up this month. It has been a pleasure serving the community but I am pleased to announce Denise Chumley will be our new lay director for chrysalis! I know she will do an amazing job and am excited to see how God uses her in our community!

Blessings,

Jared

Don’t forget that in September we have our Chrysalis Journey’s back to back so sign up your young college girls and boys quickly please. Also be in prayer for David Hunt and Patty Davenport as they continue to prepare for the work that God has laid out before them. We do have full scholarships available to any caterpillar who needs one so money should not be an issue. Thanks !

Blessings,

Thanks to everybody that came out to support the Chrysalis fundraiser at Blue Sky. We don’t have the official numbers in yet but we were told that our turn out was exceptional and we may have set a record. You guys are amazing supporters and this community wouldn’t be possible without all your prayers and interaction.

The high school flights in July are in full swing and the teams are continuing to prepare for what God will do in the lives of all those young people. Pray for Yvonne and Jason daily as well as the teams and their families and please sign up your high schoolers and spread the word.

We currently have not found a replacement Lay Director for our September Boys Journey the 11-14th. If you have spent some time working Chrysalis events and meet a few requirements you might just be eligible. If the Lord is tugging at your heart strings and you think this might be a position he’s calling you to please contact me and we’ll talk.

Blessings,

Praise God for another month come and gone and another month upon us with new opportunity to serve him with all of our heart and soul. Praise him for the rain and the green grass everywhere!

Thursday June 26th we are having a fundraiser for our Chrysalis scholarship fund at both Blue Sky restaurants in Lubbock. All you have to do is show up during regular business hours and tell the cashier your ordering food to support the Chrysalis community and they will donate 20% of the proceeds to our community. It’s very important that you specifically mention Chrysalis though or it will not count. They have two locations you can choose from.

– 3216 4th st (just east of Indiana)
– 4416 98th (intersection at Quaker and 98th)

Please tell your friends and family to help us out that day by participating. Your help is greatly appreciated.

On another note please be in prayer for our high school flights in July. We need mature Christian youth that have yet to experience what an Emmaus weekend is all about. Spread the word and pray for Yvonne Alred and Heath Gary as they prepare to serve as stewards over both walks.

Prayer is the most important part of a spiritually healthy community and I want to encourage each and everyone of you to spend time daily lifting up the needs of our community; praying for the unleashing the power of Holy Spirit upon our members, affiliate churches and pastors, future pilgrims and our city and surrounding towns. Never has there been a greater privilege given to man than the right to stand before God boldly on behalf of the needs of men.

“Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,” ~ Ephesians 6:18

“Those born of prayer are the saviors of a country, and those saturated with prayer give life and impetus to the Church. Under God, they are the saviors and helpers of both Church and country.” – E.M. Bounds (The Weapon Of Prayer)

If they have completed their freshman year then they are eligible.
