LOGOS ~ Chrysalis for grades 6-8

Chrysalis in July ~ Get it on Your Calendar!
 A socially distant gathering is being planned for Tuesday, July 21 from 7:00 - 8:00 p.m (location TBD). We ask that each youth bring your mask and wear clothes you'll be comfortable sitting on the ground in (you could also bring a chair or blanket if you'd like). We'll be sitting 6' apart, but that won't keep us from playing some sitting games and catching up with one another. 
 
Parents are invited to drop youth off and return an hour later for pickup or enjoy walking around on the area on their own. Questions? Contact Diana at 814-574-8712.

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.
​
Our special events each year include a Fall Retreat at Krislund and a spring Lock-In.

 Regular Chrysalis is on 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.
