LOGOS ~ Geckos for Grades 1-5
LOGOS Returns Virtually with Family Ministry!
We are in uncertain times, so now more than ever we need to be reminded of the connection we have to each other through God and through the church. LOGOS usually is ministry with & for the children and youth of our community, but this year LOGOS will more resemble family ministry as we connect groups of families to share time with one another throughout the fall semester.
We will continue to follow our own building safety protocols, listen to medical experts and science, and keep in touch with what the school district is doing, as we proceed. We will be offering virtual opportunities to connect each week with each other. Once we have registrations completed, we will group a few families together so that those family groups can meet virtually to share meals, play games, discuss Bible stories and connect with one another. All family members are welcome at these “gatherings”.
Twice a month, on an RSVP basis, meals will be available to pick up curbside from Mike and Amy (thank you!) and then we encourage those meals to be shared virtually within family groups. The other two Tuesdays a month, offerings will be provided online for anyone to partake including exciting Bible stories and the always fun Worship Skills with Ned. The first meal will be offered on the 1st Tuesday in October- don't forget to RSVP!
No tuition will be collected this year, however donations to help cover food costs are appreciated from anyone in the program or church members who are not a part of LOGOS. If you would like to donate to help cover food costs, please put LOGOS in the memo of your check made out to SCPC.
We know LOGOS is going to look different this year, but with your involvement, we believe we can be a stronger program and continue to be an important time investment for families. We are all God’s Children. We have some fun ideas planned, so register NOW, and join us as you are able through the FALL.
Please register for GECKOS and Chrysalis online by September 22nd or ASAP - Click links below to complete forms.
Questions can be directed to Keri Rounsville , Deannine Shipman or Ned Wetherald

NORMAL (non-covid) Information and Times for LOGOS
LOGOS is 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 program for elementary aged children is called GECKOS (*God's Enthusiastic Caring Kids of Spirit), and it is designed to be the start of their Logos experience. GECKOS children enter through the parking lot doors and we have a greeter on hand from 3:45 – 4:15 pm. Children should go directly to Westminster Hall for a snack and cartoons. The program begins at 4:15 and runs until 7:00 pm. Children who arrive after 4:15 pm will need a parent escort into the building to find their first rotation.
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. See the "Chrysalis" page for details about their program.

Our Program
We study God's word every week, but that's not all! In addition to studying God's word, we practice living out God's word on each other. We practice treating everyone as a child of God as we have a meal together, as we play games or make neat stuff together, and as we work together to lead worship as a choir. We're all children of God, young and old, and we treat each other that way.
Forms may be requested by contacting the LOGOS Director, Keri Rounsville (814-574-5156).
LOGOS has a Coordinating Team made up of our LOGOS Director, Keri Rounsville, and other volunteers and is resourced by the following staff: Deannine Shipman and Ned Wetherald. LOGOS is under the programs of the Education Ministry Unit.
