Greetings Emmaus and Chrysalis Families!

Well, we made it through the Ice Storm of 2009. I hope everyone’s power and lives are back to normal. With this storm came power outages, and all the modern conveniences we take for granted came to a halt – such as the February newsletter. This is submitted electronically, and at that time, was unable to get published.

Back to the storm for a minute, even through the inconveniences and the cold, did you see the magnificence of God’s handiwork? The beauty of it…..the silence of it…. all of it was breathtaking. It made me stop and remember who is in control of everything…..the world, the weather, our families, our finances, our lives. It was a time for me to stop and ask God’s forgiveness when I take all my blessings for granted, and to thank Him for being faithful and taking care of me again. God is so good!

I want to welcome the new Butterflies from Chrysalis #43. Our family keeps growing! Please come and share in our Gatherings whenever possible. I want to thank Doug Bagley and LeAnn Yarbourgh for a job well done. Thank you for listening and giving your time to the Lord. I ask the community to start praying for the fall Chrysalis #44 lay directors. Joanie Turner will lead the ladies, and Tommy Irwin will lead the guys.

Formations are being held at the time of this writing for Men’s Walk #110 and Women’s Walk #111. Keep Larry Russell and Colleen Bagley covered up and over with prayer. Pray for the team and the talks the pilgrims will be hearing. Pray for the pilgrims and their families. Pray for good sponsors. Remember how you felt that Thursday night? This can be a very difficult time for some to leave their families, so let’s do everything we can to help alleviate that anxiety. Come support them with your attendance at sendoff, Candlelight, and closing. Let’s just love all over them!

Don’t forget to bring 2-liter drinks and agape to the campground. Remember to sign the 72-hour prayer charts and the speakers’ chart. Remember we need servers for the meals too; HOWEVER, one day will be a little different. On Saturday on the Women’s walk, servers are needed for supper only.

Please make plans to attend Gathering at Memorial United Methodist on Saturday, March 7, at 7:00 PM. We will be dedicating the men and women’s teams during this time, along with worshipping in song, fellowship, and Holy Communion. I look forward to seeing my family there!
