Summer Chrysalis Events!  Save the Dates!
Chrysalis ended their year with lots of laughter, play, and the sending of our 8th graders onto bigger and better things. We all look forward to summertime spent with family and friends. This summer, Chrysalis will be gathering three different times for some fun in the sun. All current Chrysalis kids are invited to these gatherings; we will also be inviting any upcoming 6th graders to join us in August. The dates are below so be sure to put those evenings on your calendars. Details will be sent via email to adults and students. Any questions? Email Laura Essinger-Hileman.

What is Chrysalis?
Chrysalis is the middle-school segment of LOGOS (a four-part program of Christian nurture including Bible Study, Worship Skills, Recreation/Activities and Dinners for Children and Youth in Grades 1-8).   The name,  Chrysalis, is a nod to this changing time in a child's life.

Our Program
Chrysalis incorporates the four LOGOS times into a different schedule.  We're also a "youth group" in that we have a caring leadership team that stays with the group throughout the night.   We start our Tuesday night with a casual singing in Gathering Time at 5:15 pm (Tower Room).  At 5:35 pm, we head to Worship Skills where we prepare to be in worship leadership (about once/month).  Family Time begins at 6:15 pm in the Fireside Room, with great food and play around our dinner table.  The final hour of our night always involves some play (activity time) and an exploration of Christian practices (Bible Time).  Our practices curriculum is based on Way to Live.

Regular Chrysalis Schedule is Tuesdays from 5:35- 8:00 pm.
4:15 - 5:15 pm - Cocoon Time in the back of the sanctuary (homework, etc. - optional)
5:15 - 5:35 pm - Gathering Time in the Tower Room (optional)
5:35 -6:15 pm - Choir Room (upper level) for Worship Skills
6:15 - 7:00 pm - Fireside Room (lower level) for Dinner & Family Time
7:00 - 8:00 pm - Westminster Hall for Bible Time and Activity Time

Middle School youth are in the LOGOS group called "Chrysalis." Middle School youth can arrive at 4:15 pm for Cocoon Time in the back of the sanctuary (doing homework and chatting), and then they will have group singing in the Tower Room from 5:15 pm-5:35 pm, and then they will start their official program time at 5:35 pm with Worship Skills in the Choir Room. Chrysalis ends at 8:00 pm.
