C h r y s a l i s Ed i t i o n

My name is Kyle Groves and I have been called to serve as the

Lay Director for the Guy's Chrysalis Flight #48 this summer. The

Chrysalis will be July 12-15th at Howard College, in Big Spring.God has called a great team for Flight #48 and we are all anxious

for the Chrysalis to arrive.

In the meantime, we just finished our first weekend of team

meetings. The talks were moving and full of the Holy Spirit. The

worship was sweet and brought us to the foot of the cross. And

the food was off the charts (or very delicious if that doesn'tcompute). We laughed - we cried - and we experienced God as

we fellowshipped.

I would like to extend an invitation for you to be a part of the

Guy's Chrysalis this summer. First, we need your prayers.

Please pray for each team member, caterpillar, the talks that will

be given, the chapel services, etc. Second, we need caterpillars.

Please be thinking of teen-agers that you know - a

neighbor, family member,

someone from church, a

co-worker's kid. Please

remember that a youth

must be at least 15 years

old, or have completedtheir freshman year of

high school, and can be up

to 19 years old in order to

attend a Chrysalis. Third,

sign up for gift and food

agape. Please be looking

for our yellow clipboardsat the next Community

Meeting and sign up for

some agape needs.

Our youth are important in determining the outcome of future

generations and so I would like to leave you with the followingchallenge. Let's make an investment in the future today by do-

ing the three things I mentioned above to support both of the

Chrysalis events this summer: (1) pray, (2) identify potential cat-

erpillars, (3) prepare food/ gift agape.

Lastly, if you would like to help out by feeding the team at our

last 2 team meetings, please contact me ASAP. They will be fordinner at 6pm on Friday, June 29th at Second Baptist in Midland

and for lunch at 11:45am on Saturday, June 30th at Howard Col-

lege in Big Spring.

Fly with Christ,

Life with Christ is sustained by Gods grace as it interacts

with our conscious thoughts. The Spir it of Christ continual-

ly acts upon us. However, we must open our conscious

minds to Him if we are to receive the benefits of that grace.

Think of your telephone. When it r ings, you have a choice

whether to answer the caller. When you do answer, there isa conversation. Similarly, the mind that is open to Christ

engages in a conversation with the Spirit.

Christ continually acts upon us and much of the time we are

not conscious of it . That is prevenient grace. When we do

open our minds (answer Him), grace becomes operative

upon us. We respond, we engage in the vital dynamics of

faith.

We heard of how we can be open to Christ in the talk, Life

of Piety during our Walk Weekend. I quote from the out-

line. Devotional practices are personal ways of receiving,

nurturing, and enriching the relationship with God. The

devotional practices are prayer, meditation, scripture study,

and worship. I find one or more of these daily practices to

be vital to a graceful relation with God and other people.

Note, I wrote daily practices. It is as important as eatingand sleeping. We can live a while without them, but soon

we either starve or become unable to think coherently.

So, how is your fourt h day today? Are you feeding on the

Spir it? Are you rested and refreshed with Christ?

HOW IS YOUR FOURTH DAY TODAY?

Be still and know that I AM GOD. Psalm 46:10. This will

always be one of my favorite scriptures. It reassures me

God is always there and convicts me God is always in con-

trol and not me. Thank goodness!

Have you ever been told Youre never going to learn any-

thing with your mouth open? I have. And if you know me,

you know I am rarely without my mouth open. However,during my process to mature as a Christian, I am makingmyself be still and wait for the small quiet voice to guide

and direct my path. And I am making myself not

use my words in haste and asking (begging) the

Holy Spirit to give me His words so that all I do or

say is pleasing to my Father. I challenge each of

you to do the same.

The Hi Sky Emmaus Community has a busy sum-

mer ahead of us. In June we have Womens Walk

#204, July we have the Boys and Girls Flights andAugust we will celebrate our 25th Anniversary! I

encourage you to attend any or all of the upcom-

ing activit ies. I am especially asking for support

for our Chrysalis Flights which will be held at How-

ard College this year. Remember - our youth are

our future!!!

A N ote from the Community L ay D ir ectorFrom time to time, there is extra

pieces of agape left over after a

walk due to the walk not being

full. Donna Fillip collects these

items and brings them to com-

munity so that we can pick them up and use

them again at future walks. Please make sure

you check the bucket at each Community

meeting and pick-up your leftover Agape.

It has been my prayer for months of preparing to pre-pare that God wi ll shower hi s blessings of l ove and com-passion on these men and will remove any obstacle thatmay get in their way of being a part of this exper i-ence. Our li ves are on a coll ision course wi th abundantblessings and I know you will want a special man inyour life to experience it.

"Take this most seriously: A yes on earth is yes in heaven; a no on

earth i s no in heaven. W hat you say to one another is eternal. I mean

this. When two of you get together on anything at all on earth and

make a prayer of it, my Father in heaven goes into action. And when

two or three of you are together because of me, you can be sure that

I'll be there." - M at t he w

Community NotesHelp Wanted!

If you have given a talk on either a men's or women's

walk since August, 2008 could you give a copy to Jimmy

Smith? Our "example" pool is getting low. You can either

email or give a copy to a hard copy to Jimmy. His emailaddress [email protected].

Remember

Cutoff for registration for all walks and flights are on the

Thursday before the walk is scheduled to begin. This gives

those making agape time to personalize things like nametags

and allows for the time needed to order specialized agape

from vendors.
