LOGOS - Middle School MINISTRY:  Chrysalis
Please contact  Diana Malcom if you have any questions.
​
We’re planning for one more day of fun with/for our middlers this summer.  Parents of 6th-8th graders -- make sure it's on the calendar!

August 21 ~ Mini Golf & Ice Cream @ Meyers, 6:00 pm (upcoming 6ths invited to the August gathering)

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 (Tower Room).  At 5:20 pm, we head to Worship Skills where we prepare to be in worship leadership (about once/month).  Family Time begins at 6:00 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.
​
Our special events each year include a Fall Retreat at Krislund and a spring Lock-In.

Regular Chrysalis begins on September 18th, Tuesdays from 5:00- 8:00 pm.
5:00 pm - Gathering Time in Fireside Room
5:20-6:00 pm - Choir Room (upper level) for Worship Skills
6:00-7:00 pm - Fireside Room (lower level) for Dinner & Family Time
7:00-8:00 pm - Westminster Hall for Activities and Program Time

LOGOS Worship Schedule - Fall 2018

Here is the worship schedule for LOGOS Worship Skills. We will be working each week on preparing to lead worship. Working together as a team, so we need the whole team on Sunday morning for the “big game.” You will also get an email reminder several days before your child leads worship. ​

3rd, 4th, & 5th grade families will notice we have scheduled a 11:15 service on November 4.  We think it is important for LOGOS to share their talents with the 11:15 service and for the 11:15 service to see the youth of our congregation.  Let us know how this works for your family.
Christmas Eve:  All LOGOS families who are in town will lead worship at the 7:00 PM Christmas Eve Worship Service.  There will be a special Christmas Eve Rehearsal on Tuesday, December 18, 4:30-6:00 PM (no meal, no program).
