From the Community Lay Director...
From the Lay Director I truly love this time of year despite the recent cold snap we’ve been experiencing. Spring feels like such a time of renewal for me. All around us the flowers bloom and we celebrate the end of another winter. 2 Corinthians 5:17 tells us “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ the new creation has come and the old has gone away.” To me, Spring is such an example of this. As Easter people we are reminded of this when we celebrate Christ rising from the tomb. Because of the grace he has given us we are all washed anew. For our community this is an exciting time of year---as I write this the men of E161 prepare to head to the mountain. There they will greet 30 pilgrims who will experience Christ’s love (some again and some for the first time). (more) |
From the Community Spiritual Director...
From The Community Spiritual Director Make Disciples of ALL Nations! Jesus gave a commission, a charge, a marching order if you will, to make disciples. Disciples making is really God’s business, it is a work of the Spirit, that we are privileged and blessed to be invited by Jesus take part in. I think of the friends that I have made because of Jesus Christ. I think of the laughter and tears, of the joy and the shared sorrow, that has made life bearable because someone reached out to disciple me. There is nothing magic about making disciples. It does not happen instantly but with repeated encounters over prayer, worship, study, service and fellowship. Discipleship involves giving ones whole life to Christ. Learning and doing what Jesus taught is an ongoing process. It is revealed though life experience and witness. It is shaped by the Word of God. Discipleship at its very best creates a community of obedience to God. (more) |

Music Directors' Message "Keep a Song In your Heart!" De Colores!! What a great song - a celebration of God's creation and JOY, of the new awareness of His world’s beauty. Did you know the shout of "VIVA" at the end means HE LIVES!! At the March Ultreya CLD Beth Rand welcomed us as the new community MDs, and we are honored and thrilled to serve! Thanks for your expressions of support and en-couragement, God is good beyond belief. As Jim shared at Ultreya, we hope to lead in facilitating the following: (like the 3 legged-stool), (1) worshipful music at NCAE Ultreyas and Weekend events, (2) development of new MDs and AMD’s, (3) and Outreach thru use of SDs and band music. There was an overwhelming response from musicians in the community at the March Ultreya. We had an over-whelming sign-up by musicians who expressed an interest in music and outreach. We plan to maintain contact with them regarding music and service opportunities. We are looking forward to the future, and including the Chyrsallis community in all we do. If you missed the opportunity to sign up as a musician, pleases contact us via email at: mkrauss70@hughes.net. Nothing can Steal this JOY! VIVA! - Sincerely, Jim and Mae |
from the Chrysalis Lay Director
Dear Community, I wish you all a very Happy Easter! This month as we cele-brate the death and resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Chr-ist, I pray that you’ll be reminded of just how much God loves you. “You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good per-son someone might possibly dare to die. But God demon-strates his own love for us in this: While we were still sin-ners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:6-8). No matter who you are, where you come from, or what mistakes you’ve made, God loves you. Don’t you want to share that mes-sage with the teens and young adults in your life? Here are the details of both our summer weekends… (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) |
