Special Notes
On behalf of the Flight #29 team, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome the new butterflies and to
thank the community for their support on the weekend. The turnout for candlelight and closing was amazing.
This was the first weekend for separate conference rooms for the caterpillars. I know there are Fourth Day who
have expressed concern about the changes that were being made, but these changes have been a long time in
coming. This decision has been prayed about for years; this is not something that has happened quickly. The
Lord greatly blessed this weekend with these changes. I know that the team was concerned about how to run
two conference rooms at the same time, but the team stepped up, knew their jobs, and did them. Matt and I
never had to worry about what was going on in the background. If anyone has concerns about anything, contact
a board member or attend a board meeting. (second Thursday of each month at 7:00) Meetings are open to
anyone in the Emmaus and Chrysalis community.
I encourage new butterflies and anyone who has never worked a flight (or walk) to pray about serving on a
team. We need experienced Fourth Day as well as new Fourth Day.
Fly with Christ,
Jennifer Lathrop
Weekend Lay Director Flight #29
Praise the Lord for an amazing walk! The women's WVWE #41 was a hit! God was there in a might way.
The pilgrims were open to the Holy Spirit and I believe walls were broken down and chains were unloosed.
Thank you to the conference room team for leading and guiding as God called you. The ladies were blessed by
your willingness to serve. Thank you to the support teams. Because of your hard work and willingness to serve
the ladies were blessed with wonderful meals and much agape!! (as well as were the rest of us) Thank you to all
Fourth Day who prayed for us all during the weekend, and sent letters of agape, table agape, food agape, etc.
For those who helped with set-up, tear down, registration...God Bless you all. And I thank our Lord Jesus for
being there even before we were, for without Him it would have been just a weekend away from home!
Thanks to all,
Peggy Swinson
