From the Community Lay Director...
From the Lay Director My name is Beth Rand. I worship at Old Bridge United Methodist Church, walked on Chrysalis 20 and sat at the table of Love (clap). I feel overwhelmed by the blessings that this community has given me throughout my Fourth Day. While I would have never imagined the role in which God would call me to serve so many years later, I knew from the moment I walked on C-20 that part of my service to Him would be in this amazing community. I am both humbled and honored to serve as the Community Lay Director for 2012 and see this as yet another part of His plan for me. As I sit writing this we are approaching the end of 2011 and I’ve been examining that age old tradition of New Year’s Resolutions. Have you made yours? Perhaps you’ve resolved to try a new diet, try a new bible study, resolve to give up a vice, resolve to sponsor a pilgrim on a weekend. I started thinking about my resolutions as they apply to being Community Lay Director. As I was thinking about this I was listening to Chris Tomlin’s song God of this City. One part of refrain includes “Greater things are yet to come and greater things are still to be done in this City”. I think that applies to our community. Great, amazing, powerful things are yet to come for those who have already been called to walk in 2012. (more) |
From the Community Spiritual Director...
From The Community Spiritual Director Perhaps you have heard some of these predictions for 2012: The Mayan calendar says the world will end on Dec 21st, 2012. I Ching , ancient Chinese prophecies, also claim Dec. 21st, 2012 as the end of time. The same date is predicted by the Web Bot, software which tracks the most frequently used words on the internet to predict future events. The Web Bot was supposedly accurate in predicting the terrorist attacks in 2001 and the tsunami in 2004. Scientists, analysts and forecasters make predictions about almost everything. As Christians, we need not be concerned with predictions but with God’s plan. Revelation 21 was written to the church during a time of great difficulty. Christians like you and me were being harassed for their faith, some of them were even martyred. The very existence of the church was threatened. The author of Revelation reports a vision—“ Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth… And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God's dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death ?or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!”(more) |

from the Chrysalis Lay Director
Happy New Year everyone! Its 2012 and C-80 is only a couple weeks away and it looks like is going to be a full weekend! Second Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore, if an-yone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” (2 Cor. 5:17)! It is our prayer that as all the Bugs/Caterpillars who go through our weekends will be transformed into beautiful butterflies. We pray that they will grow in their faith and knowledge of God and then go out and share their faith with others. The deadline to submit Bug Applications is January 6th but space is limited so please get those applications in ASAP! Youth ages 14-18 may attend as long as they have completed their first semester of High School. C-80 will take place January 13-16 at the 4-H Center in Front Royal, VA. The weekend theme is “The Power of Love,” their song is “I Lift My Hands” by Chris Tomlin, and their verse is 1 John 4:19. (more) |

Weekend Fees - Take Note! The Weekend Fees for 2012, as set by our Board of Directors, is: Pilgrim Application Fee $35 Pilgrim Fee $175 Team Fee $275 |
Community Palanca I am the Community Palanca Cha. I need volunteers to make placemats for me. We need 270 decorated placemats for each team that goes to the Mountain. I will have blank placemats at the Ultreyas each month. You can create your own design, either free hand, trace from a coloring book, use markers, glitter and glue to create your designs. You can either do them yourselves or get your Sunday School classes to do them. The pilgrims really like them when they come from the children. There are two kinds needed: the ones that are decorated with cute pictures and words, and ones that specifically say “DeColores”. (more) |

The Gospel in drama... While we're not in the habit of distributing the large volume of internet-sourced Christian media, every now and then a message arises that is so clear and convincing that we feel compelled to share it. Many of us have heard this story, but it bears repeating. Watch and enjoy! |
