‘Hatching’ into a new phase
Since Nicki and Mandy became ‘Mums’ in 2007 it has become clear that national (or international!) Chrysalis tours were no longer so practical for them.
Some years ago they had felt a leaning towards presenting Chrysalis locally on a more regular basis in the Trusts home town of Chesham to establish a working reality of this type of relational evangelism. Now they feel God is again calling Chrysalis to engage more with the local community just as it did when it started back in 1992.
Nicki and Mandy got thinking and praying to see exactly what God had in mind for them and Chrysalis. Several ideas came out that were developed and brought to the Trustees to consider. The Trustees were encouraged by all the ideas, and after more prayer, they decided to proceed with the local choir proposal. (see separate item)
We do believe that Chrysalis is now ‘hatching’ into our next phase. We are all excited by the Community Choir, and other local projects. We believe God has great plans for Chrysalis. Thank you for your backing in the past and we would ask for your continued prayers as we take these new ventures forward.
Chrysalis Community Choir
The Community Choir is a new initiative for Chrysalis. The aim of the choir is for people from the local community who love to sing to get together, meet new friends and have fun whilst singing a variety of styles including Gospel and Musical Theatre.
Things are progressing really well, with over 100 singers signed up. Regular attendance figures are high with up to 85 attending on some rehearsal nights.
If you love singing and feel your voice hasn’t been used since those dim and distant school assembly days then why not come along. Please contact office@chrysalis.org.uk or 01494 581115 for an information pack and get warbling!
Chrysalis Arts Trust is a registered Charity whose key mission is to present the Gospel in relevant, entertaining and non threatening ways using the performing arts, usually in a cabaret style presentation.
Please pray for the work of Chrysalis, See our Prayer Diary for our current list of those involved within the Chrysalis ministry.

To keep a ministry team on the road is an expensive operation and can easily drain our resources. Our financial policy is to come on a suggested gift basis, for which we try to estimate our costs to keep the charity actively involved on the ‘mission field'. We feel that as a responsible Christian Ministry it is right to operate in this way to allow as many fellowships as possible, large or small, to be able to host a Chrysalis event regardless of cost.
