Greetings!

Welcome to the Second Edition of the Chrysalis Cares eNewsletter!!

What a fabulous Winter Season for Chrysalis CARES!!  The Lord has blessed our community with 66 new butterflies!!  We are thrilled to welcome them all to the community.

I hope I am not the only one that feels the excitement in the atmosphere for our community!   I can sense the Holy Spirit working and I can't wait to see what He has waiting for us!  I know that our spring season is going to be just as thrilling as our winter season has been.

WE NEED YOU!  Just as every other volunteer run organization Chrysalis is dependent on our Emmaus Pilgrims and the Chrysalis Butterflies to ensure our community continues to thrive.  If you take just a moment to think what it takes to make our community successful you may become a little overwhelmed.  I am thankful that none of us have to carry the weight of the community -- Jesus is so faithful to us!!  Please prayerfully read through the newsletter and where you read of a need please consider what Christ is asking your role to be in that need. 

I often recall the words of the Cross Service on my original weekend.  "Christ is counting on you and I responded that I am Counting on Christ!  Please know that Christ is counting on our community, and also just as important know that our Board and our Community is Counting on Christ!!

In HIS Grip!
