Starting our 16th year this fall of 2008, LOGOS is our Midweek Youth Program designed to develop and nurture our Christian Faith and Family. This program includes Bible study, play, worship skills, and a family dinner hour.
Logos meets on Wednesdays from 4 - 7pm. Orientation with a modified program schedule for children and parents is on September 10th, 4:00 - 5:30 pm, including dinner. Registration will begin in the Foyer on Sunday mornings, or you can download the registration form below and mail the completed form to the church office. The full program will start on September 17th. There is also Living Logos for Jr. and Sr. High on the same dates and times.
Under the direction of Founder and Executive Director Dr. Dale Milligan, Youth Club was renamed the LOGOS program in 1988. In order to be more inclusive and to convey the value of the word of God. LOGOS is Greek, meaning WORD!. The LOGOS program is now providing an unparalleled mid-week enhancement to the Christian education programs in more than 2000 churches.
LOGOS has evolved over the past three decades to meet the needs of todays youth. Meeting weekly and spreading over several hours, the LOGOS program provides an arena in which youth and significant adults can practice the building of Christian relationships. LOGOS is not a substitute for or a replacement for church school, youth fellowship or Bible school.
Please see our Christian Education page.
| LOGOS! First Presbyterian of Pittsford is proud of its successful LOGOS ministry! For over 16 years children have learned, played and been mentored through this program. Would you consider your role in making this year even better? |
| The four parts of the LOGOS weekly ministry model are: |
| |
Bible Study - Bible study nurtures youth and children into intelligent, obedient, and biblically-informed discipleship. In grade level groups, each LOGOS class uses a curriculum that is designed to meet their unique needs and learning capabilities. We have developed Faith for Life2 to be a powerful Bible study resource for any weekly LOGOS ministry. |
| |
Worship Skills - Worship is essential and central to the Christian community. In Worship Skills young people learn about worship and prepare to lead in the Sunday morning service of worship. This is typically done through singing, bell, or speaking choirs, drama, or movement and dance. |
| |
Recreation Play – Recreation Play allows LOGOS young people to experience great fun at the expense of no one else. They participate in games and active play, do crafts, or experience the hobby or special interest of a member of the congregation. When we reveal ourselves in play, we strengthen friendships, and when conflicts occur, we practice our Child of God theology. |
| |
Family Time - Family Time provides a joyous, intergenerational celebration of personhood over a shared meal as LOGOS young people experience being part of the family of God. Young people are assigned to tables along with one or two adults who act as "table parents." The group around the table becomes a family as they share meals together throughout the year. Food is served family style. Conversation is purposeful. Life is celebrated! |
