Chrysalis Kitchen Help
Needed
I will need help on July 10-11-12th for the Girls Caterpillar Flight at Camp Asbury, espe-cially Friday night to help serve the Dinner meal to the Girls
Teaming members before the
Caterpillars arrive Sat morning.
Also in August 7-8-9-10 there also is a Boys Flight at Camp Asbury, I need men to help serve dinner to the Team on August 7 before the flight cater-
pillars arrive Sat morning.
I am also sure that there is still room at "The Big House" for volunteers to come, stay, and help, especially past flight But-
terflies!

72 HOUR PRAYER VIGIL
Do you remember when they brought out the Prayer Vigil sign-up at your Walk/Flight and the feeling of awe that you had that so many people had been praying for you all weekend? Well it is now time for you to go to http://www.3dayol.org/Vigil/GetComm.phtml and sign-up for the Western New York Boys and Girls Flights for the Chrysalis Weekends in July and August. If you do not have a computer and would like to sign up give me (Cheryl Isaman 716-372-4159, evenings are best) a call and I will put your name on the sign-up. Also, if you have other Agape for the weekend let Lisa Wickens or I know and we will make ar-rangements to get it from you for the weekend.
Chrysalis Agape Team
Cheryl Isaman and Lisa Wickens
Please consider coming to Big House and joining
in the fun we will be having. I foresee a lot of fun and a lot of work being accomplished. You do
not have to commit to the whole weekend. If you can only come for a couple hours, we would love to have you
too. We will have a camp fire weather permitting, making agape for upcoming flights, singing, going on a nature scavenger hunt, enjoying God's creation on the deck on the lake, having bible studies, and
watching our friendships grow. You will also have an opportunity to fish in Silver Lake. Please let me know no later than Monday, July 1 if
you are coming to Big House. It does cost to stay at Big House and
also costs for meals. Please feel free to email me with any questions at
[email protected]. Please start considering now and I hope
to fill up both cabins with Big House!! If you are planning on Big House, please bring black pants and a white shirt to serve the candle-
light dinner!
Fly High with Christ!!
Adult volunteers (18 yrs or older) remember that a background check is required to serve in Big House

Dear Community,
Just a small message from your Chrysalis Treasurers. We think we don’t
ever have anything to say in the newsletter because all we do is take in money and pay bills and report to the Chrysalis Board. God has spoken
through our Rainbow Connection editor-in-chief to lovingly remind us that EVERYONE in the Emmaus/Chrysalis Leadership and in the Community has
an evangelism role in recruiting Pilgrims for Walks and Caterpillars for Flights. That means staying closely linked to one another, Community and leadership, through our greatest means, the Rainbow Connection. Out of
our love for Emmaus/Chrysalis, we want to encourage you to be making a list of possible Caterpillars. Pray over those lists and pray some
more. Then watch the Rainbow for the registration deadlines. Please re-member that you don’t have to wait for the deadline. Your Chrysalis regis-
trar will accept your forms anytime and then keep us busy depositing your checks, so whatever you do, PLEASE put us to work! Blessings & Love,
Stephen & Pat Morse

Sponsorship: How important this is….
Registration News for Falls Walks
To be held at Greece United Methodist Church
taken by someone involved on
the Board of Directors and on a Walk relies on the action of
another.
Be a sponsor. It may
be the greatest gift they receive.
Pray, sponsor and be
faithful.
Respectfully yours,
Jim Moody
Do you remember your spon-
sor? Consider the gift that was given to you by your sponsor – the prayers, time spent talking
about the Walk to Emmaus, meeting with you, perhaps many times and then helping to fill out
registration forms. Your spon-sor attended sponsor’s hour, candlelight, closing and the reun-
ion. Let us not forget those
agape letters!
These are just a few of
the ways a sponsor gives the gift of love as part of the Walk
to Emmaus experience.
Now, consider it your turn sponsor. Begin praying. Pray again, again and again.
Lean on your sponsor[s] for guidance. Talk to others if you are unsure of the steps. Be faithful to the process involved
to assure everything is com-pleted on time. Please re-member that every action

Jessica and I look forward to getting out to the different gathering to visiting everyone. There is still time for signing up on the Prayer Vigil for the Men's and Women's walks. We will be needing to get Place Mats and Napkins for the up coming walks. It is never to soon to start. You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I
thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water. Psalm 63:1

I have been truly blessed by this opportunity of serving as Lay Director for the Women’s Walk to Emmaus #48.
This experience has been more than I could ever imagined. God gave me this amazing team that had to constantly change and convert and rearrange …. and then they willingly went with the flow without complaint. I could never have done this walk with-out each one of you. I had the best Bellringer ever! She’s a true Bell-ringer. She kept us on time, at all times, by giving us only little itty bitty baby breaks, but sometimes we had just a baby break and if we were a head of time we got medium breaks. One time when she announced a baby break, Brian told her the baby was triplets.
The pilgrims totally blessed me each day as I watched them listen and absorb all of the talks. The creative posters, songs, skits, poems and prayers that they made so impressed me. I couldn’t wait for the community to hear them sing. I felt I had surly died and went to heaven and choirs of angels were singing to me.
So what did this walk mean to me? It was just like every other walk that I’ve been on. The Best one ever!
I just want to say thank you to everyone for this beautiful gift of allowing me to be your Lay Director. DeColores!
