Chrysalis! (MS Youth Group)

There was excitement in the air as we sat in the cafeteria with 42 grade 12 students last night for dinner! They were all eagerly awaiting the arrival of the middle school students at 7:30PM. Each week, myself, two other leaders, and all our senior Chrysalis leaders will meet at 6:00PM to eat dinner. After dinner we will spend time team building, planning activities and praying for the middle schoolers.

This week, as the middle schoolers ran into the auditorium, their senior Chrysalis leaders cheered and clapped until the very last one of them had entered! What an incredible welcome! We played get to know you bingo, sang songs of worship, and heard from the wife of our Spiritual Emphasis Week chapel speaker. Seniors and middle school students alike were excited for what came at 8:30PM - small group time! An average of 2-3 seniors are paired with 3-5 middle school students and will meet with them on a weekly basis at Chrysalis. It was fun to see them getting to know each other and share about their first few weeks of school. I am so excited to be a part of Chrysalis and can't wait to see what God has in store for us this year!
