Chrysalis Summer Gatherings Are you sad that Chrysalis is done for the year? Don't worry, we meet during the summer, too! We gather about once a month during the summer to reconnect and have some fun together. All youth just finishing grades 6-8 are welcome to join us on June 27th and July 18th. High School youth are also invited to the June and July gatherings. We welcome the upcoming 6th graders (just finishing 5th grade) to join us for a pool party on August 1st. For each gathering, we will meet from 6:30 to 8:00 pm. We hope you'll join us! |

The start time for our program evening will allow the children/youth extra unmasked time between school and the start of the program. LOGOS Geckos will run from 4:30 pm-7:00 pm, which will also shorten our concentrated time
together in rooms. Chrysalis will continue as previously from 5:15 pm-8:00 pm.

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 5:15- 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 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. Questions? Contact Laura Essinger Hileman, Chrysalis Coordinator, to learn more! |
