Update on 2021 Chrysalis and Walk Weekends
STATEMENT FROM HELENA EMMAUS/CHRYSALIS BOARD OF DIRECTORS: August 21, 2020
After careful consideration, discernment and prayer of Covid-19 concerns, the Helena Emmaus/Chrysalis Board of Directors has made the decision to postpone the 2021 Chrysalis and Walk weekends. With the time needed to build teams, hold planning meetings, and prepare for these weekend events, we felt the need to make this decision earlier than might seem necessary.
It is with a heavy heart that we have had to make this decision, and we recognize that this is a loss for our community. However, we are hopeful that we can continue to find new ways to connect and grow during this experience, and in fact would like to spend this time away from our normal routines as a time of renewal and rejuvenation for our community. Our community energy is ordinarily focused around creating welcoming and loving ways to invite new people into the fold. During this time away from actively creating those spaces, we would like to take some time to focus inward. and nurture and strengthen our community by staying connected in new and unique ways.
As we work to foster a continued sense of togetherness and focus as a community, we are hopeful that when the time comes for us to welcome new pilgrims again, we will have a renewed sense of gratitude for being able to be together again. We look forward to connecting with you, and pray for health, wellness, and love for you and your loved ones.
This three day Christian retreat is open to members of any Christian denomination, who have a desire to strengthen their spiritual lives.
