in the lives of our youth, it is Chrysalis. Chrysalis is an interdenominational
spiritual weekend retreat where our youth learn more about Christianity,
themselves, and their fellow brothers and sisters. This is a powerful
program that not only gives the youth an opportunity to develop Christian
leadership skills which they can bring back to their local church,
but also sends them that most powerful of messages: they are richly,
deeply loved by God.
