Released: 2017. Last Sunday, we took a week off our worship series to celebrate with our youth groups the amazing community they have developed and to hear from our high school seniors – but this week we return to the metaphor of the butterfly and its emergence from the cocoon and transition into flight. Since Easter Sunday, we’ve looked at how a butterfly, which started out as a creepy, crawly caterpillar, transforms in the dark enclosure of the cocoon, to emerge as a beautiful winged creature. We learned about the strength and persistence it takes to break out of the cocoon and the patience needed to rest during the in-between stages of life, those liminal spaces where, like the butterfly, our wings need to dry and become flight ready.

Last week, we introduced a new series, called “Emerge” and how the metaphor of the Butterfly emerging from a cocoon has been connected with Christ’s resurrection for years. We looked at how that cocoon time, the time in the protective darkness, while sometimes painful and uncomfortable in the moment, can bring forth growth and transformation within us – just as it does for a caterpillar transitioning into a butterfly… and just as it did for Jesus after his crucifixion – death giving way to the resurrected Lord who emerged from the tomb...
