LOGOS at Westminster

LOGOS is our mid week program for children and youth in grades Kindergarten through 12th grade.  Each Wednesday children and youth participate in Bible Study, Worship Skills, Recreation, and Family Time (dinner hour).

Children in K-6th grade meet from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Transportation is available if needed. 

The Four Parts of our

Weekly LOGOS Program

Bible Study nurtures youth and children

into biblically-informed discipleship. In grade

level groups, each class uses a curriculum that is designed to meet their unique needs and learning capabilities.

Worship Skills: Worship is essential and central to the Christian community. In Worship Skills young people learn about worship and prepare to participate in Sunday morningworship.

Recreation allows young people to experience great fun at the expense of no one else. They participate in games and activities in a non-competitive environment.

Family Time provides an intergenerational celebration over a shared meal. The children are assigned to tables along with 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.

Each week we have different theme at dinner time.

It is estimated that in over 1500 churches in any given week, children and youth can be found taking part in this program that is giving them a sense of purpose and direction, unconditional acceptance and fellowship,  and puts their faith and relationships in the very center of their lives.

The program also reaches the adults who volunteer their time and talents and thereby develop a deeper relationship with the youth, with each other, and ultimately with God!

The program consists of four parts – Bible study, Worship Skills, Recreation, and Family Time – and is based on Acts 2:42-47

They spent their time in learning from the

apostles, taking part in the fellowship, and

sharing in the fellowship meals and the prayers.

We look forward to your family being a part of this exciting program.

Why we have a LOGOS Program…

Growing up in today’s world is tough! Young people experience unique pressures and stress that no previous generation has ever known. In the face of this reality, children seek to be known….to be in meaningful relationships with adults. They want to believe that someone cares and so they search to find those relationships wherever they can.

We can be an agent of hope by nurturing our young people into that most important relationship, one with Jesus Christ. A congregation that is living out the practice of mirroring Christ to one another is making it possible for children to “catch” the faith and learn what it means to be Christ-like

Parents and the church must work together to establish and sustain an environment of faith formation that produces a whole life biblical world view. This perspective influences all other activities, experiences and relationships in order to support a child’s journey toward discipleship

 Parent Participation

A very important, if not the most important way you can become involved is to show your child your commitment to LOGOS. In our society, we give time to those activities we value; show your child that LOGOS is a top priority to you by giving your time, seeing that your child comes each week, and discussing the activities. Being there is not only helpful to the LOGOS staff, but ultimately for your child.

If you do not have a weekly commitment to LOGOS we ask that you sign up to help four times throughout the LOGOS year.

Fees

The cost for the 11/12 year of LOGSO is:

*1st child        $90

*2nd child       $80

*3rd child        $70

*4th and subsequent children are free

One half of the tuition is due at registration. The second half will be due on January 14, 2012. No one will be turned away because of finances. Payment schedules and scholarships are available. Contact Teresa if you need assistance.

Visitors

We love when the children and youth invite their friends! We ask that $3 be paid to cover the cost of the meal for each visitor. Advance notice is always appreiciated. If a guest wants to come back, we will contact their parents about joining our LOGOS program. Please provide us with contact information of your guest.

Safety

The safety of your children is very important to us. We ask that you come in the building when you bring your children to LOGOS. At the end of the evening you will need to come into the Fellowship Hall to pick up your child. We will not allow any children to leave without an adult.

Transportation

If you need help getting your child to LOGOS we can provide transportation. Please Let us know if you need transportation when you sign up for LOGOS and we will make arrangements.
