Regional Conference

The semi-annual regional Lay Director's conference will be held at Peace UMC on Saturday, September 12, from 10:00 to 3:00.  We are in need of several volunteers who will coordinate a light lunch (salad, tuna fish, etc. or fast food) for this event.  Contact Steve Seiden @ 703-659-8953 and offer your time and service.

Chrysalis for Fredericksburg

The Board of Directors has voted to establish an independent Steering Committee for bringing Chrysalis to Fredericksburg within the next year to two.  

There are several things to do before we can even consider conducting a Chrysalis Weekend.  The first of course is the formation of the Committee.  Initially, Steve Seiden will lead this effort.  The Steering Committee will consist of volunteers who want to give there time and energy to bring this blessing to the youth of the Fredericksburg Community.  Volunteers are especially desired who have had youth leadership experience or have attended Chrysalis as a pilgrim or team member.  If you are interested, call Steve @ 703-659-8953.  

The second thing we must do is sponsor our youth to Chrysalis in neighboring communities now.  We have many Chrysalis Butterflies within our geographic community area, but few have been active with our community.  Most have moved on to college or are understandably still closely attached to the community where they walked, but may join us when we provide this new Chrysalis for them.  But the nucleus of our first teams will most likely have to come from within.  We will have to grow our own.  Let's commit to sponsoring several of our young men and women now so that they are ready to team on F'Burg CH 1.

The third thing we must do now is send some adults and youth to team in neighboring communities.  These communities are alive with the Spirit and have few openings for outside team members, specially adults, but we will ask them to give us some priority.  Those we send now will be the leadership for then.

There is a lot of work to be done, but God has already shown us what He can do through the hands of a faithful few.  We look forward with excitement to watch Him work.  Fly with Christ!!!
