Regular LOGOS Tuesdays 
SCPC's LOGOS program is a mid-week ministry for children and youth in 1st-8th grade.  LOGOS Geckos is our program for 1st-5th grade and LOGOS Chrysalis is our 6th-8th grade ministry.  Each Tuesday in September-April,  we build multi-generational relationships between participants and church volunteers as we prepare to lead worship together, study God's Word, play together, and share a meal.  All SCPC families with children of program age are encouraged to be part of this wonderful ministry. If you have questions about the program, please feel free to reach out toDeannine Shipman (​814-238-2422 ext. 213).

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.
