WHAT HAPPENS
AFTER A CHRYSALIS WEEKEND?
Chrysalis supports
young people's return to the world as butterflies by
encouraging and strengthening their local church and
youth group connections.
You are invited to become
intentional about your faith after the three day
experience. You are invited to build upon your Chrysalis
weekend for the rest of your life - to rise to a new
day, every day.
The first follow-up is a reunion meeting held the
Saturday after each Chrysalis weekend. This is a time
for everyone who was involved in the weekend to come
together again to share their week.
Chrysalis participants are also encouraged to join or
form "Next Step" reunion groups. Next Step
groups are small groups of young people who have been on
a Chrysalis Flight or Journey. The groups are designed
to keep the spirit of the Chrysalis weekend alive.
The groups also enable Chrysalis participants to stay in
relationship and to help one another live in the light
of God's love as disciples of Jesus Christ.
After
the Chrysalis experience is over, Next Steps groups meet
regularly to participate in a time of sharing based on
the Next Steps Card (a card received during the
Chrysalis weekend).
"Hoots"
are larger, less frequent worship gatherings for the
purpose of renewing relationships, rekindling the fire
of faith, building support for upcoming Chrysalis
weekends and introducing Chrysalis to teens and adults
who aren't already aware of what happens on a Chrysalis
weekend. Yes, we encourage
you to come a hoot even if you haven't been to a
Chrysalis!
